How to allow a user to only override credentials?

How to allow a user to only override credentials?

avatar

Hello,

We'd like to be able to setup user access so they can only "Edit User Specific Settings" but not edit the shared settings of objects. Is this possible? We'd like to do this because people keep accidentally editing the shared information rather than their own.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi,
This is not implemented but it's on my whiteboard for the next version. I will do my best to squeeze that for the version 9.2

Hi, just to make sure we understood correctly, the request was to allow to override only the credentials out of all the user specific settings?

If not, you can create security groups and assign only the view permissions, it does require an advanced data source (SQL Server, MySql, RDMO, RDMS)

Hi Maurice,

We'd like to be able to revoke access to the "Edit Entry" menu option but ALLOW access to "Edit Entry (User Specific Settings)". Please let me know if you can think of a way to do this without a product update or if I can clarify further.

Thanks!

Hi

Edit entry (user specific settings) is not a permission but a datasource setting

Therefore, creating security groups, and only granting the view permissions to the users will remove the edit rights for them, and they will still be able to use the user specific settings.

I recommend the tutorial we have put up.

There is also a shorter one on security groups on our tutorials page http://remotedesktopmanager.com/Support/Video

Edit : I didn't know the video would be linked automagically ;)

Thank you, I'll try this out and let you know if I run into any issues.

In the next version, you will be able to set the credentials to None. This will force your users to use a user specific setting.
