Manage Offline Permissions

You can define offline user access permission rules that govern wireless device use when the client is disconnected from the Application Server.

An offline state exists when a device is attached to a client computer that is not under the control of your network server, or is not connected to the Application Server. Occasionally, a user may need to modify a device permissions when the user is not connected to the network and needs to access a file stored on a removable storage device.

1. In the Management Console, select View > Modules > Device Explorer.
2. In the Default settings division of the Device Explorer hierarchical structure, right-click a device or device class.
3. Select Offline Permissions from the right-mouse menu.
4. Click Add.
   The Select Group, User, Local Group, Local User dialog opens.
5. Click Search or Browse to select a user or user group.
6. Select the user or user group and click Next.
7. Select from the listed user access options.
   Restriction: Only user access options for the device class selected are shown.
8. Click OK.
   The non-network connected user group permission rules are shown in the Details column of the Device Explorer hierarchical structure.
