Set Up User Permissions

When you are working with a stand-alone host, assign permissions to any user that you add to the host.

To set up user permissions

1. From the Users tab in 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. Clicking in the Full Name or Notes column does not work. If the buttons are already enabled, clicking Full Name or Notes disables those buttons.

2. Click Permissions to open the Permissions of... dialog.

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

   Permission

3. Configure permissions by selecting or clearing the check box for each desired function.
4. Click OK to return to the Users tab of the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog; click OK again.

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