Permissions (protocols)


 

To govern the exchange of information at the transport level, configure access to communications protocols by setting appropriate permissions. These permissions specify who can gain access to which protocols and what level of access users have. Permissions can be set on a per-user or per-group basis. The following access rights are available for permissions associated with protocols:

 

- File Sharing: 

 

- FTP: 

 

- HTTP: 

 

- ICQ/AOL Messenger: 

 

- IRC: 

 

- Jabber: 

 

- Mail.ru Agent: 

 

- MAPI: 

 

- Skype: 

 

- SMB: 

 

- SMTP: 

 

- Social Networks: 

 

- Telnet: 

 

- Web Mail: 

 

- Windows Messenger: 

 

- Yahoo Messenger: 

 

 

To set the default permissions

 

The default permissions are assigned to the Administrators and Everyone accounts.

 

To set permissions for an additional user or group

 

1. In the upper-left pane of the dialog box, under Users, click Add. The Select Users or Groups dialog box appears.

 

2. In the Select Users or Groups dialog box, in the Enter the object names to select box, type the name of the user or group, and then click OK. The users and groups that you added are displayed under Users in the upper-left pane of the Permissions dialog box. To delete a user or group, select the user or group, and then click Delete or press the DELETE key.

 

3. In the upper-left pane of the Permissions dialog box, under Users, select the user or group. You can select multiple users or groups by holding down the SHIFT key or the CTRL key while clicking them.

 

4. In the lower-left pane of the Permissions dialog box, under User's Rights, select either Allow or Deny to directly allow or deny the appropriate access rights.

In the right pane of the Permissions dialog box, you can set day and time restrictions that narrow user access to the specified protocol(s). Use the left mouse button to select days and hours when the selected user or group will have access to the specified protocol(s). Use the right mouse button to mark days and hours when the selected user or group will not have access to the specified protocol(s).

 

NOTE: When selecting several protocols that have different access rights, consider the following: the Permissions dialog box displays only those access rights that are common to all selected protocols. 

 

If all access rights displayed in the Permissions dialog box are allowed for the specified users, these users will have full access to the selected protocols. 

 

If all access rights displayed in the Permissions dialog box are denied for the specified users, these users will have no access to the selected protocols. 

 

Some access rights depend on other rights. If you grant a right that requires another right, the required right is granted automatically. For example, if you grant only the Generic: Outgoing Files right for the Social Networks and Web Mail protocols, the following rights are granted automatically: Generic: Send/Receive Data, Generic: Outgoing Messages, Generic: Outgoing Files.

 

No Access permissions assigned to the Everyone account take priority over permissions assigned to other accounts.
