Controlling Access to the User Interface

Setting security for the interface on client computers is an important part of protecting your

environment. As an administrator, you can control the access users have to the VirusScan

Enterprise interface. Specify a password to prevent users from accessing or changing selected

features. You can also lock and unlock the user interface as necessary.

How setting a password affects users

Set a user interface password to deter users with malicious intent. When you password-protect

the user interface on client computers, users are affected as follows:

• Non-administrators —

Users without administrator rights

. Non-administrators run all

VirusScan Enterprise applications in read-only mode. They can view some configuration

parameters, run saved scans, and run immediate scans and updates. They cannot change

any configuration parameters, create, delete, or modify saved scan or update tasks.

• Administrators —

Users with administrator rights

. Administrators must type the password

to access the protected tabs and controls in read/write mode. If a password is not provided

for a protected item, they view it in read-only mode.

Configuring user interface security settings

To access the User Interface properties:

• From the ePolicy Orchestrator console, go to Systems | Policy Catalog and select

VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0 in the Product list and User Interface Policies in the

Category list.

• From the VirusScan Console, select Tools | User Interface Options.
