Allowing Users to Switch Servers After Logging In
Ordinarily, after users log in, they cannot switch to another managed server without an
administrator password. However, you can allow users this privilege.
To allow users to switch servers:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Click Security and select a computer list.
3 Select “Switch to another server without authentication” to allow this option for users.
4 Click Save.
If you want NetBoot client computers to choose a different Macintosh Manager server,
remove the DNSPlugin extension from the NetBoot image.
Allowing Users to Force-Quit Applications
If you allow users to force-quit applications, they can press Command-Option-Esc to force an
application to quit.
Note: Allowing this option may pose a security risk.
To allow users to force-quit:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Click Security and select a computer list.
3 Select “Force Quit applications” to allow this option for users.
4 Click Save.
Allowing Users to Disable Extensions
If users are allowed to restart computers, you can also allow them to turn off extensions by
pressing the Shift key during startup. This will not disable the Macintosh Manager extension
or necessary system extensions.
Note: Allowing this option may pose a security risk.
To allow users to start up with extensions off:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Click Security and select a computer list.
3 Select “Disable extensions during startup” to allow this option for users.
Important
Allowing this option can decrease server security. Also, if you have servers that
use older versions of Macintosh Manager, switching a client computer to one of these servers
may cause the server to install the older software on the client computer.
