16.2 Enabling Access Control

Enabling the Access Control Feature

After configuring computer types, you can enable the access control feature. Open the policy settings dialog by selecting Operations → Settings.

• Enable Access Control

  Checking this option activates access control on the agent computer, preventing Blocked computers from accessing Protected computers.

  Administrators can set all computers not allowed to access protected machines as Blocked.

• Block All Non-Client Computers from Network Access

  If this option is checked, computers without the client installed—and not marked as Authorized or Protected—cannot access Protected computers. Ensure that any non-client computers that should not be blocked are manually set as Authorized or Protected.

  Typically, external computers without the client cannot access protected machines, effectively safeguarding confidential data.

• Restrict by IP Address Range

  If no IP range is specified, the agent computer will block all computers marked for blocking within the subnet. If an IP range is specified, only computers within that range will be blocked.
