Central Control
List When Faronics Core is launched for the first time after installing

populate the Central Control List by adding the files and Publishers on the
console computer. This Central Control List can then be applied to the
workstations via a Policy. The Central Control List needs to be created only
once, but can be applied multiple times to more than one workstation via a
Policy.
Executable Any file that can be launched by the operating system. The executable files
managed by Anti-Executable have the extension .scr, .jar, .bat, .com, or
.exe. Dynamic Link Library files with the extension .dll can be managed if
configured in the Setup tab.
Execution

or Publisher. The Execution Control List defines whether the file must be
Allowed or Blocked.
External User Any user that is neither an Anti-Executable Administrator nor an
Anti-Executable Trusted user.
An external user can run only authorized executables and has no control
over Anti-Executable configuration. This restriction applies regardless of
any user rights assigned by the operating system.
