Communication

This policy category controls the user's ability to change configuration information pertaining to communication. This includes both emulator configuration (modified by selecting the Communication → Configure menu) and the SNA node configuration utility (PCSCFG.EXE).

The “Not Configured” and “Disabled” options under the “Policy Editor” does not impose any policy restriction.

The Communication Configuration drop-down list contains the following options.

No Access

The user has no access to communication information. However, this does not prevent the user from changing the communication configuration information by manually editing the .WS file, the .ACG file, or both. This is the most restrictive level of control.

Write

The user can read preconfigured communication information, and can make temporary and permanent changes to the communication configuration information. This is the least restrictive, and is equivalent to the level of control in which users operate without policy support.
