If client management is not needed, Data Sources can be setup on the local Gateway Server and the
Access Mobile Clients will be able to access these Data Sources. Each user will be in control of his
own app settings.

Note: Details on installing Acronis Access are included in the Installing (p. 5) section of this guide. The
configuration of Data Sources is explained in the Mobile Access (p. 31) section.
If you wish to remotely manage your Access Mobile Clients, Acronis Access allows you to use a group
policy. This policy can:

Configure general application settings

Assign servers, folders, and home directories to be displayed in the client app

Restrict what can be done with files

Restrict the other third party apps that Access Mobile Client files can be opened into

Set security requirements (server login frequency, application lock password, etc.)

Disable the ability to include Access Mobile Client files in iTunes backups

Remotely reset a user's application lock password

Perform a remote wipe of the Access Mobile Client app's local data and settings

And many additional configuration and security options
Only one Acronis Access Server is allowed.
A typical network employing client management includes one server with the Acronis Access Server
and Acronis Access Gateway Server components installed. In this scenario, all mobile clients are
managed by the Acronis Access Server, and will contact this server each time the Acronis Access
application is started, to check for any changed settings and to accept application lock password
resets and remote wipe commands if necessary.
