Default is high.
Privilege controls operator privileges and access to thin client resources. See
also CCMEnable={yes, no}.
None — This level of access is typical for kiosk or other restricted-use
deployment. The System Setup selection on the desktop menu is disabled
and the Setup submenu is not displayed. The Connect Manager is disabled by
default.
The Connect Manager can be enabled by using the HideConnectionManager=no
option, however, the user cannot create a new connection or edit an existing
connection. The user cannot reset the thin client to factory defaults.
Low — This access level is assigned to a typical user. The Network selection
on the Setup submenu is disabled and the Network Setup dialog box cannot be
opened. The user cannot reset the thin client to factory defaults.
High — Administrator access level allows all thin client resources to be available
with no restrictions. A user can reset to factory defaults.
NOTE:
If None or Low is used, the Network Setup dialog box is disabled. If it is
necessary to access this dialog box and the setting None or Low is not
saved into NVRAM, remove the network connector and reboot.
LockDown — Default isno. Yes/no option to allow lockdown of the thin client.
If yes is specified, the system saves the privilege level in flash. If no is specified,
the system clears the privilege level from flash to the default unlocked state.
NOTE:
If the thin client is set to LockDown without a High privilege level, it will
disable the G key reset on power-up.
LockDown can be used to set the default privilege of the thin client. For
example
● If LockDown=yes, then the privilege is saved in permanent registry.
● if LockDown=no, then the privilege level is set to the default high in the
permanent registry.
That is, the system has a default high privilege level, which is stored in
the permanent registry.
● If you do not specify a privilege in either the wnos.ini file or
the {username}.ini file or the network is unavailable, the setting of
LockDown will take effect. It can be modified by a clause.
For example, privilege=<none|low|high>lockdown=yes in a wnos.ini file
or a {username}.ini file sets the default privilege to the specified level.
HideSysInfo — Default is no. Yes/no option to hide the System Information
from view.
HidePPP — Default is no. Yes/no option to hide the Dialup Manager, PPPoE
Manager, and PPTP Manager from view.
HidePN — Default is no. Yes/no option to hide the PNAgent or PNLite icon
from view on the taskbar.
HideConnectionManager — Default is no. Yes/no option to hide the Connect
Manager window from view.
NOTE:
As stated earlier, although the Connect Manager is disabled by default
if Privilege=none, the Connect Manager can be enabled by using
