Allowing Specific Applications to Be Opened by Other Applications
You can allow specific applications to act as helper applications for other applications that
might need to use them. The applications you want to designate as helpers must already be
added to the list of allowed items for one or more workgroups.
To specify helper applications:
1
Open Macintosh Manager.
2
Choose Application Preferences from the Configure menu.
3
Select an application from the list.
The list only shows applications currently assigned to workgroups. If the application you
want isn’t in the list, click Add to browse for the application, or click Custom and type in the
name and four-character code of the application you want to add.
4
To designate the application as a valid helper, select “Allow this application to be opened by
other applications.”
Allowing Users to Work Offline
If the Macintosh Manager server or a user’s home directory is not available, you can still allow
offline computer use. The user must log in, but the Macintosh Manager server is not available.
If the home directory is not available, users may not be able to save their documents.
To allow users to work offline:
1
In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2
Click Security and select a computer list.

Select “Work offline if the Macintosh Manager Server is not available” to allow this option for
users. If you want, you can also select “Require an Administrator password to work offline”
for this option.

users.
