Granting permissions to individual users or groups

You can grant access to Kaspersky Endpoint Security to individual users or groups. For example, if exiting the application is blocked for the Everyone group, you can grant the Exit the application permission to an individual user. As a result, you can exit the application only if you are logged in as that user or as KLAdmin.

You can use account credentials to access the application only if the computer is in the domain. If the computer is not in the domain, you can use the KLAdmin account or a temporary password.

To grant permissions to individual users or groups:

  1. In the main application window, click the Settings button.
  2. In the application settings window, select General Settings, then Interface.
  3. In the Password protection section, click the Settings button.

    The Password protection window opens.

  4. In the Permissions table, click the Add button.

    The Permissions of a user/group window opens.

  5. Click the Select button to the right of the User / Group field.

    The standard Select Users or Groups dialog opens.

  6. Select a user or a group in Active Directory and confirm your selection.
  7. In the Permissions table, select the check boxes next to the actions that the selected user or group will be allowed to perform without being prompted for a password.

    If a check box is cleared, the users are blocked from performing the action. For example, if the check box next to the Exit the application permission is cleared, you can exit the application only if you are logged in as KLAdmin, or as an individual user who has the required permission, or if you enter a temporary password.

    Password protection permissions have some important aspects to consider. Make sure that all conditions for accessing Kaspersky Endpoint Security are fulfilled.

  8. Click OK in the Permissions of a user/group window.
  9. Click OK in the Password protection window.
  10. Click the Save button.

As a result, if access to the application is restricted for the Everyone group, users will be granted permissions to access Kaspersky Endpoint Security according to the users' individual permissions.
