Access Control / Device Lockdown
In certain workflow scenarios, there is a need to prevent users from being able to change the
application configuration. Further there may be a requirement to prevent users from exiting the
application or launching other applications on the Windows CE device. The Access Control
features address these needs. Refer to the Options configuration section for details on
configuring these features.
Access control functionality allows for the following:
•
••
• Administrators can password protect access to session configuration settings. This
prevents users from changing the application configuration
•
••
• Prevent users from invoking another application. This is done by disabling the Start menu
button.
• Prevent users from exiting the application.
Please refer to the Quick reference and configuration sections of this manual for details on
configuring this functionality.
