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 490 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.
3 Click Save.
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 in 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 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.”
Important Macintosh Manager does not automatically allow these options, but you may
choose to do so. Allowing these options can weaken computer security.
