Permissions Manager

How do I get to this dialog box?
  • Run AccessConfig.exe. You can do this by double-clicking the file in the InfoConnect installation folder, or by entering the filename in the Windows Search programs and filesbox.

Use Permissions Manager to restrict access to InfoConnect features. After you select the features you want to disable, your specifications are saved in .access files that you can deploy to users.

Note

You can restrict access to InfoConnect controls only on systems on which the Windows User Access Control (UAC) is enabled. If the UAC is disabled, the configuration settings that restrict access do not apply.

Items in Permissions Manager are organized as follows:
File type Sets the scope of the restrictions: Actions, Application Access, or a terminal session type. The actions.access and application.access files configure settings that apply to all sessions. Other *.access files configure settings that apply to each terminal session type.
Groups The feature group to configure.
Items Lists the configurable items within the selected group.
Item The name of the item.
Accessibility The security level of the item.
Full - All users can configure the item.
Restricted - Only Administrators of the system can configure the item. These items have the Windows user access shield added to their icons:
Read-only - No users of the system can configure this item. These items appear grayed-out in the user interface.
