Cumulative Profiles |
[Top] [Previous] [Next] | |
In some cases, you might find it necessary or useful to assign a certain profile to one station individually, even though that station is a member of a group that uses a different profile. For example, you might want to block off access to locally stored virtual CDs on a particular client station. To do this, you can assign that station a profile that blocks this access.
Keep in mind with cumulative profiles that a positive setting (option enabled) in one profile always takes precedence. Even if other profiles assigned to the same station have a "No" setting for the particular option, a single "Yes" setting takes precedence.
For client stations that are assigned more than one profile, you can view the sum total of all settings, known as the cumulative profile, in NMS Administration. To do this, select the desired station and, in the Virtual CD NMS section of the Ribbon, click on Cumulative profile. This opens a profile window showing all of the settings active for the selected station.
Opening the cumulative profile of a station is a good way to check which settings are actually applied to that station. If the allocation of a profile did not have the results you expected, checking the cumulative profile can help you detect and eliminate conflicting settings. |
