Settings. Security

This functionality allows you to set limits on unwanted client actions during a gaming session.
 

High access password

This setting allows you to change the password to the Shell's editing and deactivation functionality.

• If the PC was turned off, the new settings will be applied immediately after the PC is turned on.
• If the PC was turned on, restart the shell by pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL and select Sign out from the list to apply settings.

The high access password for SmartLock TV disables TV lock for 1 minute. We recommend changing the default high-access password.

Remote control

This setting allows gaming center employees to remotely connect to client PCs. You will need to install an additional module. Read more in this article.

Hiding disks

Specify disks that will not be available to the client for direct opening and from game launchers. We recommend setting the restriction only for the C:\ drive.


 

External drives

If this setting is enabled, guests will not be able to access files on their personal external drives (hard disks, thumb drives, and phones). If your customers use shooter configurations frequently, ask them to upload files to cloud storage to check for harmful files. External drives are worth limiting. 


 

Downloading Files

When enabled, users will not be able to download files from Google Chrome in Shell.


 

Blocking

The setting allows you to set a ban on opening unwanted windows (these can be browser search queries, Windows Explorer, or applications).

How to set up blocking

Specify the name and/or class of the window that you want to force to expire to prevent clients from accessing unauthorized sites or important settings. The window name is the title of the site displayed in the tab. If you want to restrict multiple sites at once with the same request, add an * at the beginning and end of the request.

In the screenshot, three different sites have a common query — SmartShell.

To carry out the blocking, you need to add:
 

A window class is a set of attributes that the system uses as a template to create a window.
There are a large number of programs to determine the window class and name (for example: Au3info from the creators of the AutoIt scripting language).
