Directory and file control

The Directory and file control functionality allows the administrator to register settings that will control the permission of Windows files and directories.

This configuration is done through the web interface of the senhasegura where the permission of files and directories, determined, will be given to all users of the indicated workstation. That is:

"If for the Documents" directory of the workstation "01" users will receive only the permission of Read, that is, they will only be able to see and list the files and sub-directories contained inside "Documents" (directory) in the workstation "01"."".
