Notes

  • Access to the Internet for a user or their computer is further controlled by the Internet Access option: a user may be denied access if they try to access the Internet at the wrong time of day. For more information, see Internet Access Help.

  • You can use the same process to manage multiple users in the same folder. First, select all of the users that you want to manage. When the tick is grey, some of the selected users have Internet access enabled, and some have not.

  • User properties are also available by selecting the user and choosing Picture of the Properties button in the toolbar, or by double-clicking the user in the right-hand pane.

  • You can also set this user property on a template.
