Using Secure Mode

Secure Mode enables only the domain users having their associated group(s) already added in NetVault Server to log in or to be added in NetVault Server. The privileges and other access is managed through the groups itself, and domain users cannot be assigned privileges directly while Secure Mode is enabled. This imposes a restriction on the domain users in secure mode as their associated group(s) need to be added into NetVault Server before the user logs in or is added to NetVault. The privileges and other access are updated as per the associated groups present in NetVault Server on every login of the domain user.

To use the Secure Mode feature:
1
A domain user must login to NetVault Server using domain credentials.
2
NetVault administrator must provide required privileges to this domain user and then this domain user adds the domain groups to the NetVault Server.
3
Any user with Users- Administer user accounts privilege is able to enable or disable Secure Mode.
