 Setting permissions for a connection

You can grant users and groups permissions that give them different levels of access to other sessions on a connection. Users always have full control over their own session. When a connection is created or copied from an existing connection, it gets a set of default permissions. In addition, you can add permissions for a user or a group, change the type of access, and remove permissions from a user or group.

Click the following for more information about the types of permissions:

 No Access

 Guest Access

 User Access

 Full Control

You can also set full or specific access permissions for a group or user using the Special Access dialog box.

Notes

If you select the No Access permission for a user or group, and the user or group has other types of permissions to the connection, No Access overrides all the other types of permissions.

You must be a system administrator to change permissions for a connection, even if you have Full Control permission for that connection.

Logon

Click Disabled to prevent the connection from being activated while you are configuring it. The connection is not available to logon any users.

Click Enabled to activate the connection. Once activated, the connection is available to logon users.


Timeout settings

These settings (specified in minutes) specify timeout intervals. The timeouts are:

Connection. This setting specifies the maximum connection duration. If a connection duration is specified, the session is disconnected or terminated when the specified duration elapses. If No Timeout is selected, the connection timer is disabled.

Disconnection. This setting specifies the maximum duration that a disconnected session is retained. If a disconnection duration is specified, sessions in the disconnected state are terminated when the specified duration elapses. If No Timeout is selected, the disconnection timer is disabled.

Idle. This setting specifies the maximum idle time (time without connection activity) allowed before the session is disconnected or terminated. If an idle duration is specified, the session is disconnected or terminated when the specified interval elapses without any activity at the connection. If No Timeout is specified, the idle timer is disabled.


AutoLogon

You can specify AutoLogon information to automatically logon whenever a client connects to it. Use the AutoLogon settings with care because they can present a security risk. In general, use AutoLogon only for point-to-point (that is, async rather than network) connections.


Initial Program

You can restrict a user to run only a specified program when a user logs on using the connection. The program you specify runs as soon as the user logs on and when the user exits the program, the user is logged off. No desktop is presented. In Initial Program, specify the program to run and the working directory to use when a user logs on.

To restrict the connection to run only published applications, select the Only run Published Applications checkbox. This option is available only when the (inherit client/user config) checkbox is checked.

A service that provides remote networking for telecommuters, mobile workers, and system administrators who monitor and manage servers at multiple branch offices. Users with RAS on a Windows NT computer can dial in to remotely access their networks for services such as file and printer sharing.

Note

RAS connections impose greater overhead on Terminal Server sessions. Unless users require RAS,  use dial-in ICA connections.
