Finding Applications

Approved applications for Panels and Restricted Finder workgroups are located in the “Items
for workgroup name” folder inside the user’s home directory. For users in a Finder
workgroup, applications are stored in the client computer’s Applications folder or
Applications (Mac OS 9) folder.

Finding Shared Documents

Depending on the user environment and how you set up workgroup folders, users may have
access to several areas where they can view or store shared items. For example, you can set
up a group documents volume inside the Macintosh Manager sharepoint to allow users to
collaborate more effectively, or you might provide a hand-in folder for a Panels workgroup to
allow users to turn in documents.

Before You Begin

You should consider taking advantage of client management if

m you want to provide users with a consistent, controlled interface while allowing them to

access their documents from any computer

m you want to control privileges for users with mobile computers

m you want to reserve certain resources for only specific groups or individuals

m you need to secure computer usage in key areas such as administrative offices,

classrooms, or open labs

Before you set up Macintosh Manager to manage users, groups, or computers, be sure to
follow these preliminary steps.

Step 1:

Make sure computers meet minimum requirements
