Configuring access permissions on workgroups

GFI EndPointSecurity allows administrators to control and monitor machines that are part of a workgroup. When installed in a workgroup, create groups of users to assign permissions at group level.

Create the same local group on the target machine and on the GFI EndPointSecurity server to be able to apply permissions to the users.

Creating users group on target machines

1. Click start.
2. Type: Edit local users and groups.
3. Right-click Groups and select New Group.
4. Give a name and a description of the group.
5. Add members to the group.

Creating users group on the GFI EndPointSecurity server

1. Create a local group with the same name that was created on the target machine.
2. Open the GFI EndPointSecurity console.
3. Open the Configuration tab and click Protection Policy.
4. Select the policy to apply to the workgroup.
5. Under Common task click Add Permissions.
6. Under the User option add the group that was created on number 2.
7. Deploy the policy to the target machine.
