What does the ‘viewer’ role do?


Category: Resource – Desktops

Agilicus AnyX has a rich role-based web application firewall. Some protocols this can mean very fine control (e.g. Web). Others like VNC Desktops its more coarse: read-only versus read-write. Others like RDP are all or nothing.

THe built-in roles are:

  • Owner: do anything
  • Editor: read/modify existing things
  • Viewer: read existing things
  • Self: do anything on your own data.

When looking at a protocol like Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDP), we recommend only using Owner.
