2.9 Configuring the Agent Security

You can configure whether or not to allow users to uninstall the Endpoint Agent. In addition, you can require a password for the uninstall, define an override password to provide access to restricted administrative features in the agent, and enable self-defense to protect agent files from being removed.

The following sections explain how to configure the security settings both before the Endpoint Agent is deployed and after:

2.9.1 Customizing Security before Deployment

  1. In Endpoint Management Console, click the Configuration tab.

  2. In the Management Zone Settings panel, click Device Management, then click Endpoint Agent.

  3. In the Agent Security panel:

    • Allow Users to Uninstall the Endpoint Agent: Enable this option to allow users to perform a local uninstall of the Endpoint Agent. If this option is disabled, the agent can only be uninstalled through the Endpoint Management Console.

  4. To save the changes, click OK.
