Specify who configures firewall protection settings

Configuring settings for the firewall protection service enables you to control which applications and communications are allowed on your network. It provides the means for you to ensure the highest level of security.

You can also allow users to configure their own firewall protection settings. In this case, no other options are available on this tab for you to select.

To specify who configures firewall settings:

1On the Groups + Policies page, click Add Policy (or click Edit to modify an existing policy).

2Click the Desktop Firewall tab.

3Under Firewall Configuration, select Administrator configures firewall or User configures firewall, then click Save.

To ensure the highest level of security, we recommend that administrators configure firewall protection. If you allow users to configure the settings, it is important to educate them about threats and strategies for avoiding intrusions.
