What permissions should I set for the Remote Web Workplace Links List?

  • Article

Applies To: Windows SBS 2008

By default, network users with a standard user account have permission to log on to the Remote Web Workplace. These users can view and use the standard feature links that you configure to appear on the Remote Web Workplace home page. You can also choose to enable the Remote Web Workplace Link List, which makes it possible to display two additional sections that contain Organization links and Administration links. By default, standard users can view and use links that appear in the Organization links section of the Remote Web Workplace. However, only members of the Windows SBS Admin Tools Group security group can view and use the links in the Administration links section.

You can allow or restrict user and group access to the Organization and Administration links from the Permissions tab in the Remote Web Workplace Link List Properties dialog box.

When you are determining which users should have access to the Remote Web Workplace Link List, consider the following:

  • Does your Organization links list contain links to resources that certain individuals, such as temporary workers or part-time employees, do not need to access? If so, you should remove access for those individuals.

  • Are there individuals in the organization who are not network administrators but are delegated responsibility for responding to Help Desk requests or providing remote assistance? If so, consider giving those individuals permission to access the Administration links section.

  • To minimize the level of administration that is necessary to manage permissions, consider creating security groups that contain users with similar roles or responsibilities.
