Configure user access to applications running in remote sessions

You can assign Read Only access to a distributed InTouch application running in a Remote Desktop Connection or Terminal Services session. Read Only access is appropriate for non-operators who need to view an application, but who should not have write permission. For example, managers need the capability to view an application on a mobile device with InTouch Access Anywhere over an unsecured public network. Using Read Only access provides better protection for distributed InTouch applications accessible from public networks.

Configure user access to applications running on remote nodes

1. Open the application in WindowMaker.

2. On the File menu, select Configure, and then select WindowViewer.

3. In the WindowViewer configuration screen, select the Application type tab.

   The Remote Access section appears with options to grant Read/Write or Read Only access to the application open in WindowMaker. Read/Write access is the default.

   

4. Make your selection and select OK to close the dialog box.

During initialization, WindowViewer verifies if the application is running in a remote session and is specified as Read Only. Also, a check is made that the remote node has a Read Only license. If all of these conditions are true, the application’s InTouch Links and User Input animations are viewable only in Read Only mode.
