The application is used in IT systems where the administrator wants to control which IT resources the user can access on their client. Two examples of IT resources are local applications on the user’s computer and virtual desktops in a data center. Secure Access Client runs in kiosk mode, i.e. takes over the entire screen, and displays resources that the user has access to. Administrators can control at a detailed level which resources are to be displayed for each user.
New features 1.7
- A new system for hiding resources based on user location has been added.
