8.2. Setting up Rights Delegation

This tab is used to allow users to perform tasks normally reserved to the system administrator (root).

Figure 8.5. Delegating Rights

Delegating Rights

This tab presents most of the tools available in the Control Center, and defines the level of authentication required to launch each of them:

No password

The tool is launched immediately.

User password

The user password is asked for to make sure he is actually the one using the computer and launching the configuration tool.

Root password

The standard behavior: the administrator password is asked for.

Example 8.1. Allow the Users to Manage Network Connections

With the default security level (High), users are allowed to launch the Network Center without password (by clicking on the network applet). This allows them to manage their connections themselves.
