Controlling access to Crystal applications

You can use rights to control users' access to certain features in Crystal Enterprise applications. You can grant or deny users access to the Crystal Management Console. For the Crystal Enterprise web desktop, you can grant users or groups the ability to:

• change their preferences
• organize folders
• search
• filter object listings by object type
• view the Favorites folder

For example, if you have already created your users' folders using a standard naming convention, you may want to deny your users the ability to organize their own folders.

Note:    By default, all users have access to these features.
