Granting a Service to All Guest Users

When you grant a service—for example, Send or Chat—to Guest Users, any remote user can use that service with your computer whenever Timbuktu Pro is running.

Remember to exercise caution when granting a service to all guests. Guest Users don't have to type a password to connect to your computer, nor are you prompted to give permission before the guest's session begins.

Warning: If you grant the Exchange or Control privilege to all guests, any remote user will be able to access all the files on your hard disk, as well as files on any network drive that you are currently logged into. DO NOT grant Exchange or Control privileges if your computer contains sensitive or confidential information.

To grant a service to all Guest Users

  1. From the Setup menu, choose Security.

  2. In the Security dialog box, click the Guests tab.

  3. Select the services you want to grant to all Guest Users. Clear the checkboxes in front of the services you do not wish to grant.

  4. Click OK to save the new guest service access permissions and close the Security dialog box.
