User managed security

With user managed security, users can remotely wipe or lock their own devices without the help of an administrator using the Manage Security section of the IBM Traveler User Home Page.

They can also "clear" their own actions (for example, canceling a wipe request or unlocking a device).

Users can only perform their own security actions if User Managed Security has been set to Enabled on the Traveler tab of the Server document by the Administrator. In addition, users cannot undo any changes requested by the administrator. For example, if the admin requested a wipe of type "IBM® Traveler Application and Data", the user could not "clear" that request. The only thing the user could do would be to "upgrade" the request to a "hard reset device". Similarly, if the admin had done a "hard reset device", the user could do nothing.
