Issue

• Allow or prevent certain users from accessing important settings in ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition for Mac OS X and ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition for Linux Desktop

Solution

You can set Privileged users during installation, add them later in the program settings, or define them from the ESET Remote Administrator Configuration Editor (ERAC) starting with version 4.0.138. To add Privileged users using ERAC version 5.0.511 and later, follow the steps below:

1. Open the ESET Remote Administrator Console (ERAC) by clicking Start → All Programs → ESET → ESET Remote Administrator Console → ESET Remote Administrator Console.

2. Click Tools → Policy Manager.
    
3. Select the policy you want to modify and click Edit Policy.
