Host Operation
One of the strongest features of PC-Duo is the availability of fine-grained permissions.
PC-Duo Master users or groups can be added or deleted from three different sets of
permissions:
“Service Security tab”, defines permissions for services on this Host for the user or
group selected.
“Admin Security tab”, defines permissions for access to the PC-Duo Host Control
Panel window.
“Settings Security tab”, defines permissions for modifying configuration settings for the
PC-Duo Host Control Panel window.
An access control policy, comprised of a specific set of permissions, can be assigned
to one or more PC-Duo Master users or groups in the network. A common configuration
approach is to create role-based access control policies and assign them to specific
groups of users in the network (e.g. Senior Administrators may be granted more
permissions than Junior Administrators).
NOTE: If Windows authentication is selected, all Gateway-managed connections require
that a PC-Duo Gateway domain user account with full access and administrative rights
be configured on the Host computer.
NOTE: As long as the PC-Duo Gateway is on the known list of PC-Duo Gateways on the
Host’s Gateways tab, the Host will automatically add that Gateway’s user account to its
security settings list with full access rights.
