How to Specify User Access Rights

User Access Controls apply to a Windows or Mac account, not a LogMeIn account. A LogMeIn user may be able to see a computer listed in his LogMeIn account, but still may not have permission at the operating system level to actually access the host.

1. Access the host preferences:
   
   • From the host computer, open the LogMeIn Control Panel and follow this path: Options > Preferences > Security
   • From a client device, connect to the host Main Menu and follow this path: Preferences > Security
2. Under User Access Control, select from the following general options:

   Option	Description
   Allow full control to administrators	Select this option to grant full permissions to anyone with administrative rights on the host computer.
   Hide list of domains on the Remote Access login screen	Available on Windows hosts only. Select this option to clear the list of active domains in the host authentication dialog box. This provides an extra layer of security by forcing the remote user to type the exact name of the chosen domain.

3. Under User Access Control, click Show details.
   The User Access Controls dialog is displayed.
4. In the Name field, type (or browse for) the name of the user for whom you want to set permissions.
5. Set the user's permissions using the following options.

   Some options are only available on computers running LogMeIn Pro.

   Option	Description
   Full Control	Give the user full control over all features.
   Compact view only	Limit the host user to Main Menu view of the HTML interface (as opposed to the Dashboard).
   Use IP filter profile	Use this drop-down list to apply an existing IT filter profile to this user. This allows you set the IP address (or range) from which the user can access the host.
   Login	Allow the user to log into the host. By revoking this permission, you can temporarily disable a user's access to the host without having to clear any other permissions.
   Configuration	Allow the user to read (view-only) or write (change) settings under the Preferences menu.
   Event Viewer	Allow the user to read (R) or delete (D) Windows event logs.

   Remote Control	R: Allow the user to view and monitor the host desktop and chat with a host user W: Allow the user to view and control the remote desktop D: Allow the user to take control over the remote desktop without the interactive user's permission

   System Configuration	R: Allow the user to list and view system configuration data, such as environment variables, virtual memory settings, drive and partition information and network adapters W: Allow the user to modify system configuration data, such as environment variables, virtual memory settings, drive and partition information and network adapters D: Allow the user to delete environmental variables
   Command Prompt	Allow access to the host Command Prompt feature.
   Processes	R: Allow the user to view running processes, services and drivers; list DLLs and objects that these processes use; and view scheduled tasks W: Allow the user to change process priorities and service startup parameters; control services; create and modify scheduled tasks D: Allow the user to terminate running processes and services; delete scheduled tasks
