When working on client computers managed by a Kaspersky Security Center policy, users may need to perform operations with Kaspersky Endpoint Security that are password protected at the policy level. When password protection is enabled, only the Kaspersky Security Center administrator can perform the operations specified in the password scope. However, if the connection with Kaspersky Security Center has been lost (such as when the user is outside of the corporate network), functions for working with the local interface of Kaspersky Security Center are limited.
To provide a user with the capability to perform necessary operations without giving the user the password that is set in the policy settings, the Kaspersky Security Center administrator can create a temporary password. A temporary password has a limited validity period and a limited scope of action. After the user enters the temporary password in the local interface of the application, the operations allowed by the Kaspersky Security Center administrator become available.
When the temporary password expires, Kaspersky Endpoint Security continues to operate in accordance with the settings of the Kaspersky Security Center policy. Operations that are password protected at the policy level become unavailable to the user.
