“Assigning Services and Access Privileges” on page 98
for information
about the services and privileges you can assign.
Note: Services granted to Guest Users are automatically granted to all Regis-
tered Users as well. For example, if you grant the Observe service to Guest
Users, you cannot deny this service to Registered Users. It will be dimmed in
the Let New User area in the New User dialog box.
7.
If you wish to let the Registered User dial directly into your computer's
modem, select the Let User Dial Into Your Computer option and configure the
appropriate options. See
“Setting up Timbuktu Pro for Incoming Dial Direct
.
8.
Click Save to confirm your selections, and click the close box to return to the
Define Users dialog box.
The Registered User will now be able to access your computer. When the user con-
nects, they will enter one of the following:
•
The Mac OS X user name for which you created the Registered User account,
and the password associated with that user name in Mac OS X.
•
A Mac OS X user name that is a member of the Mac OS X user group for which
you created the Registered User account, and the password associated with
that user name in Mac OS X.
Mac OS X will authenticate the user and instruct Timbuktu Pro to allow or deny the
connection. Remember that Mac OS X users must have a user name and pass-
word for Mac OS X on your computer.
Defining the Wildcard User
To save time, you may wish to create the “Wildcard” Mac OS X User. When you
create this user and assign access privileges, anyone with a Mac OS X account on
your computer will be able to connect with those privileges—whether or not you
specifically created a Mac OS X User account for that user.
To define the Wildcard user, follow the procedure for creating a Mac OS X User
and enter
* in the Name text box.
It is recommended that you assign the minimum number of privileges to the Wild-
card user. If you need to assign greater privileges to a specific user, you may cre-
ate a Mac OS X User account for that user. The user’s Mac OS X User privileges will
override the limitations of the Wildcard user.
