Restricting the Use of APP Commands

How to:

Server administrators can restrict the ability of other classes of users to change the APP environment.

When this restriction is set, all user interfaces affected by this server setting, such as, the Web Console, the Data Management Console, Developer Studio, and Managed Reporting, only display applications that are in the effective application search path, instead of displaying all applications defined by the approot setting of the server. In addition, the use of certain APP commands that users might otherwise issue to bypass the intended controls is restricted.

To ensure full administrative capabilities, the restriction is dynamically switched off when a user who has server administration rights logs on from client software or to the Web Console.

This capability is supported with all security settings.
