Task management settings

Parameter

Description

Allow use of local tasks

If the check box is selected, local tasks are displayed in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security local interface. When there are no additional policy restrictions, the user can configure and run tasks. However, configuring task run schedule remains unavailable for the user. The user can run tasks only manually.

If the check box is cleared, use of local tasks is stopped. In this mode, local tasks do not run according to schedule. Tasks cannot be started or configured in the local interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Security, or when working with the command line.

A user can still start a virus scan of a file or folder by selecting the Scan for viruses option in the context menu of the file or folder. The scan task is started with the default values of settings for the custom scan task.

Allow group tasks to be displayed

If the check box is selected, group tasks are displayed in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security local interface. The user can view the list of all tasks in the application interface.

If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Endpoint Security displays an empty task list.

Allow management of group tasks

If the check box is selected, users can start and stop group tasks specified in Kaspersky Security Center. Users can start and stop tasks in the application interface or in the simplified application interface.

If the check box is cleared, Kaspersky Endpoint Security starts scheduled tasks automatically, or the administrator starts tasks manually in Kaspersky Security Center.
