Scan-related Privileges
Users with scan privileges have greater control over how files on their computers get
scanned.
Scan privileges allow users to perform the following tasks:
• Configure Manual Scan, Scheduled Scan, and Real-time Scan settings. For details,
see Scan Privileges on page 9-7.
• Postpone, stop, or skip Scheduled Scan. For details, see Scheduled Scan Privileges on
page 9-8.
• Enable scanning of Microsoft Outlook and POP3 email messages for
virus/malware. For details, see Mail Scan Privileges on page 9-12.
Global Scan Settings
There are a number of ways global scan settings get applied to clients.
• A particular scan setting can apply to all clients that the server manages or only to
clients with certain scan privileges. For example, if you configure the postpone
Scheduled Scan duration, only clients with the privilege to postpone Scheduled Scan
will use the setting.
• A particular scan setting can apply to all or only to a particular scan type. For
example, on computers with both the OfficeScan server and client installed, you can
exclude the OfficeScan server database from scanning. However, this setting applies
only during Real-time Scan.
• A particular scan setting can apply when scanning for either virus/malware or
spyware/grayware, or both. For example, assessment mode only applies during
spyware/grayware scanning.
To view global scan settings, see Scan Settings on page 9-18.
