Configure Host Remote Control Permissions

In a stand-alone environment, you can assign permissions to authorized users, defining what the user can do on the host, for example, send and receive files, access the Chat feature, and so on.

To configure user permissions

1. From the Users tab on the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog, select the user for whom you need to set up permissions.

   Once selected, Remote Control enables the following buttons: Properties, Permissions, and Delete.

   Note: Be sure to click the User Name part of the description to enable these buttons.

2. Click Permissions.

   The Permissions of... dialog displays the following columns so you can view or configure permissions for your user, that is, define what the user can do:

   Permission

   Lists available functions for which you can assign permissions.

   Description

   Provides a brief description of the function displayed on that line.

   Note: The Permissions of... dialog is also available from the My Computer, Properties dialog in a stand-alone environment.

3. Configure permissions by selecting or clearing the check box for each desired function, and click OK.

   The Permissions of... dialog closes and you are returned to the Users tab of the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog.

4. Click OK.

   The permission settings are saved and the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog closes.

Note: In a stand-alone environment, a user can be granted permissions to only one computer, that is, the host. Also, in centrally managed and stand-alone environments, these permissions may be overridden by the options set for the host feature configuration.
