[FEATURE REQUEST] Feature Lockdown

(1/2) > >>

Cosmic_Onion:

In secure Windows environments, where users are not typically local admins, it can be common practice to prevent users browsing into C:\Windows etc. FARR's explicit search method bypasses these group policy lock downs and gives users access to the whole file system.

It would be great if there could be a separate INI file in the C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot directory (where non-admins do have write permissions under Microsoft standard security model) that could be used to specify values to 1) turn off explicit search method 2)  lockdown\grey the Search Folders part of options GUI so users cannot their own folders.

Giving some control to admins over what users can do would definitely make FARR more attractive for corporate environments.

Many Thanks

mouser:
That's a really interesting idea.
I've always wondered if FARR might make a good program for companies to install on employee's computers with pre-configured applications and aliases.

And this is a neat idea for that -- would be fairly easy to add your requests.. I think I will add them.

Cosmic_Onion:
Thanks, would be great. You should of received a enquiry today from my company in NZ about an enterprise license.

mouser:
Ah that was you. Great.  :up:

Cosmic_Onion:
The other 'nice to have' things corporates would probably like to able to turn off is the auto update feature and its links (as standard users will not have rights to upgrade) and the link to this forum I'm afraid  :(

We are perfoming a small trial of the product for a couple of weeks before deciding to buy.

Thanks again.
