ThinScale Management Console

 



The Management Console also supports multiple user accounts with role-based permissions. This enables you to delegate tasks to other people in your organization without exposing the full administrator capabilities of the Console. Also, to help keep track of changes, you can find an Audit Log of Console management events and actions recorded per user.

The ThinScale Management Server will disconnect idle Management Server connections after 30 minutes. You may change this value (see ThinScale Management Service Administrators guide).

All traffic, client or server-related, is relayed by the Management Server web service; at no point are you talking to a client PC. The exception to this rule is when remote controlling an SRW/ThinKiosk or TDA device, you communicate directly with the device when the shadow window opens.
