Java Desktop System Configuration Manager Release 1.1 Administration Guide

ProcedureLocking Application Functionality

The names of the employees who work in the CCC department are listed in the CCC organization on the LDAP tree for the company in the Configuration Manager. John decides to use the "Restrict Application Launching" feature in Gnome to remove all of the games from the "Allowed Applications" list.

Since the employees could overrule this setting on their client machines, John protects the setting at the CCC organization. As a result, this setting is rendered read-only for all members of the CCC organization.
