  • 1.  Ability to lock all settings so users cant change them

    Posted Oct 17, 2011 05:26 PM

    I would like to see a single click option to lock out all settings from users being able to change them. At this point I had to go through and click about 80? little lock icons to achieve this.

    This way, you've reversed the process, now I lock everything, but can go back and say: However I would like users to be able to adjust this and that. Also at the point where you do a full lockdown, it would be nice to get a popup that has suggestions about what to leave unlocked. ( what you would like to have users be able to change ).

     

    Thanks

    I would recommend submitting a enhancement request for the possibility of encorporating this into a future product release. Below is documentation on this process.

    Hi,

    If you applied Antivirus & Antispyware policy - High Security , it would lock all the items.
