Toolbar

This policy controls the user's ability to read and change configuration information pertaining to the toolbar.

When the Toolbar Configuration policy is enabled, the drop-down list contains the following options.

No Access

The user has no access to toolbar configuration information; that is, the user cannot read preconfigured toolbar configuration information or change (temporarily or permanently) toolbar configuration information. This means that any toolbar configuration information contained in the .WS file (specifically, in the [Toolbar] stanza) or the PCSWIN.INI file (modified by selecting the View → Show → Tool Bar menu) is ignored. The difference between this item and the Read item (described later) is that this item ignores updates to the toolbar configuration information that the user may have made while manually editing the .WS file or the PCSWIN.INI file. This means that the user can use only the product default toolbar configuration, and that you cannot set up modified toolbar configurations to be used by users who have No Access. This is the most restrictive level of control.

Read

The user can only read preconfigured toolbar information. This means that toolbar configuration information contained in the .WS file (specifically, in the [Toolbar] stanza) and the PCSWIN.INI file (the results of manipulating the View → Show → Tool Bar menu) is not ignored, but the user cannot change (temporarily or permanently) the toolbar configuration information. The difference between this item and the No Access item is that this item does not prevent the user from updating the toolbar configuration information by hand editing the .WS file or the PCSWIN.INI file. However, unlike the No Access item, this item allows an administrator to set up modified toolbar configurations to be used by users who have Read access. This is less restrictive than No Access.

Write

The user can read preconfigured toolbar information, and can make temporary or permanent changes to the toolbar configuration information. This is the least restrictive item, and is equivalent to the level of control in which users operate without policy support.
