Allowing Access to All CDs and DVDs
Using computer security settings, you can allow user access to CDs and DVDs with no
restrictions.
To allow access to any CD or DVD:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Click Security and select a computer list.
3 Select “Access all CD-ROMs” and click Save.
4 Select “Show a panel for inserted CD-ROMs” to make it easy for Panels workgroups to find
inserted CDs.
Allowing Access to Specific CDs or DVDs
You can restrict user access to CDs and DVDs by using a list of approved discs. You can also
allow users to access only certain files on a CD or DVD.
First, create the list of approved discs and items, and then allow user access to the discs.
To allow access to only specific CDs or DVDs:
1 In Macintosh Manager, make sure you have already set up a list of approved discs and items
in the CD-ROMs pane of the Global pane.
See “Using Global CD-ROM Settings” on page 465 for instructions.
2 Click Computers, then click Security and select a computer list.
3 Select “Access approved CD-ROMs only.”
4 Select “Show a panel for inserted CD-ROMs” to make it easy for Panels workgroups to find
inserted CDs.
Choosing Computer Security Settings for Applications
Some applications may occasionally use “helper applications” to do jobs they cannot do
themselves. For example, if a user clicks a Web link in an email message, the email
application might want to open a Web browser. Other applications, such as installers, may
need to quit the Finder and restart in order to finish their jobs.
To allow applications to open other applications or quit the Finder:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers, and then click Security and select a computer list.
2 Select “Open other applications, such as helper applications” and/or select “Quit the Finder”
to allow these options for applications.
Important
Macintosh Manager does not automatically allow these options, but you may
choose to do so. Allowing these options can weaken computer security.
