    Hi,

    I want to disable configure settings options in Change settings for all the features available on SEP client. Where can I find the option to disable it in policy?

    Ensure you close the locks in the policies in the SEPM.

    Thanks James.  What I want is that user should not be able to go past configure settings button. This is what I am looking to accomplish.

    Are the lock icons closed in the policy? They need to be...

    Go into the policy and close all the lock icons.

    Yes I just verified all lock icons are closed but I can still access configure settings.  When I click on the configure settings button it should say that your administrator has locked this feature or something that line.

    Ahh yes, I see what you're saying. The Configure Settings button won't grey out but as long as you have the locks closed, the users can't make any configuration changes. It's basically just a read-only.

    Looks to just be the way SEP is. Perhaps you can create another Idea for a product enhancement asit has been asked for in the past.
