Lock Down Access to the Management Console

If you provide environment configuration by using a policy, you can lock down access to the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console.

Enabling the Lock down access to DEM Management Console policy setting from the DEM Management Console.admx template locks down access to the Dynamic Environment Manager Management Console. By using the policy options, you can allow access to certain features only.

Note: If you use this policy, the Configure button, Easy Start button, Configure Helpdesk Support Tool menu option, Manage Templates button in ADMX-based Settings, Global Configuration button in Application Blocking and Privilege Elevation, and Explore and Properties menu items in Personalization are not available. Locking down access to the Management Console does not lock down file system access to the DEM configuration share.
