AccessDeniedMsg Parameter
The AccessDeniedMsg parameter contains an error message to display to users who do not have permission
to run a package.
ThinApp sets an default message that notifies the user to contact the administrator.
Example: Adding a Contact Number
You can modify the AccessDeniedMsg parameter to add a technical support number.
[BuildOptions]
PermittedGroups=Administrator;OfficeUsers
AccessDeniedMsg=You do not have permission to execute this application, please call support

PermittedGroups Parameter
The PermittedGroups parameter restricts a package to a specific set of Active Directory users.
You can specify group names, SID strings, or a mix of group names and SID strings in the same line of the
PermittedGroups parameter. If you use a domain-based group name, you must connect to that domain when
you build the application package. If you add a SID in the parameter value, you are not required to connect
to the domain where the SID is defined.
Active Directory Domain Services define security groups and distribution groups. This parameter only
supports nested security groups. For example, if a user is a member of security group A, and security group
A is a member of security group B, ThinApp can detect the user as a member of security group A and
security group B.
