Creating a permission link

About this task

After you create user groups and target groups, create a link between them to define a set of policies to be considered when a remote control session is requested between the user and target members of these groups.

To create this link, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Click Target groups > All Target groups or use the search facility. For more information, see Searching for target groups
  2. Select the target group.
    For example, DefaultTargetGroup.
  3. Click Manage Permissions.
    The Manage Permissions screen is displayed.
  4. Choose the appropriate method for creating the permissions link.
    The first time you create a link between two groups, use the Group Browser option. You can use the Existing profile option to edit an already defined link.

    Using the Group Browser option.

    • Click the selector button next to user group. Select the user group from the list. For example, DefaultGroup.
    • Click the selector button.
    • Click the selector button next to target group. Select the target group from the list. For example, DefaultTargetGroup.
    • Click the selector button.

    Using the Existing profile option.

    • Select Existing Profile
    • Select the user to target group link from the list.
    • Click the selector button.
    The set of permissions is displayed. The selected values are derived from the combination of standard policies that are defined for the selected user and target group.
  5. To enable all of the policies, click the Enabled? check box. To enable specific policies, click the enabled check box next to each policy.
    Clear the check box next to each policy that you do not want.
    Note: All required policies must be enabled before you save the permissions link. Any policy that is not enabled loses its current value when the permissions link is saved. You must reassign a value to the policy if it is enabled, within the permissions link, in the future.
  6. Set the priority for each enabled policy.
    0
    This value is the lowest priority and is automatically assigned when you create the permissions link.
    1
    This value overrides a priority 0 policy when the policies and permissions are being determined for a remote control session.
    5
    This value is the highest priority. It overrides any existing 0 and 1 priority policy when the policies and permissions are being determined for a remote control session.
  7. Set or enter a value for the enabled properties.
    For definitions and values for the policies, see Server session policies.
    Set to Yes
    The policy is in effect during a remote control session depending on the priority that is set for it.
    Set to No
    The policy is not in effect during a remote control session depending on the priority that is set for it.
  8. You can create a schedule to define when the set of policies is valid. To create a schedule for the policies, go to step 9 otherwise click Submit and the policies are now active.
  9. From the - Repeat Schedule - list, select the relevant options. Click Submit.
