Managing Media Access Preferences
Media Access preferences let you control settings for and access to CDs, DVDs, the local
hard disk, and external disks (for example, floppy disks and FireWire drives).
The table below describes what you can do with the settings in each Media Access
pane.
Controlling Access to CDs, DVDs, and Recordable Discs
You can control whether users can play or record CDs or DVDs. However, you can’t
deny access to specific discs or to specific items on a disc.
If a computer has a recordable disc drive, you can control a user’s ability to burn
discs—that is, to write information on a recordable disc such as a CD-R, CD-RW, or
DVD-R. Users can burn CDs on computers with a CD-RW drive, Combo Drive, or
SuperDrive. Users can burn DVDs only on computers with a SuperDrive.
To control access to disc media:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Preferences.
2 Make sure the correct directory is selected and you are authenticated.
To switch directories, click the globe icon. If you are not authenticated, click the lock
and enter the name and password of a directory domain administrator.
3 Select one or more users, groups, computers, or computer groups.
4 Click Media Access and then set the management setting to Always.
This setting applies to all Media Access preference options.
5 Click Disc Media and select the desired options.
If you select Require Authentication, the user must authenticate as a local administrator
to use the disc media.
Before you can select Require Authentication, you must first select Allow.
6 Click Apply Now.
