Control access to the client interface on a client system

Prev Next

You can set a password to control access to the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Client.

Before you begin

Make sure that the interface mode for the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Client is set to Full access or log on to the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Client as administrator.



Caution

Client Interface Mode is set to Full access by default, allowing users to change their security configuration, which can leave systems unprotected from malware attacks.

Task
  1. Open the Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Client.

  2. From the Action menu GUID-A3B12F55-7EE9-4519-8FCA-9ACA85C3661F-low.png, select Settings.

  3. Configure Client Interface Mode settings on the page.

    Tip

    Best practice: To improve security, change Client Interface Mode to Standard or Lock client interface. Both of these options require an Administrator password to access Trellix Endpoint Security (ENS) Client settings.

  4. Click Apply.
