Password Protection


  • In a corporate setup, CCS settings are determined by the Endpoint Manager profile applied to the endpoint.
  • One of these settings is the ability to password protect access to the client interfaces. This stops unauthorized users from opening the local clients and making potentially damaging changes.
  • Password protection blocks access to the settings area, the various ‘Tasks’ areas, and the right-click options of the CCS tray icon.
  • Local users can, however, still run certain tasks. See Exceptions at the end of this section for more details.

There are two password options you can set in Endpoint Manager:

  • Computer administrator - CCS requires a local admin password to access the settings area.
  • Admins that are already logged-in can access the settings area without a password.
  • All other users need to enter the admin username/password.
  • Custom password - An unique key which is set in the Endpoint Manager profile.

    • See https://help.itarian.com/topic-459-1-1005-14934-Client-Access-Control.html for details on the difference between these passwords.

      • CCS will request a password if a user tries to access a protected area:
