Permissions - IT Assistant Web Page

Is there any way to restrict the IT Assistant Web Page so that only certain accounts can access it? We are using IT Assistant 7.2

I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who hasn't been able to figure out how to lock down IT Assistant. I wish it had the same functionality as Server Admin, where you can simply deny Users & Power Users the ability to login to the application.

I found a number of .ini files in the following folders that look promising:
..\Dell\SysMgt\ITAssistant\iws\config
..\Dell\SysMgt\iws\config

In particular, the acl.ini, groups.ini, and users.ini files seem promising. I may be way off here, but my guess is that these files define a link between the rights granted to the user/group in Windows, and the rights granted in IT Assistant.

I've tried manipulating the contents of these files, but so far I have been unable to prevent someone with a valid domain user account from launching the application.

Another obvious solution to this problem would be to remove the machine running IT Assistant from the domain and create local user accounts, but this would also break domain based authentication for any other apps running on the same box.

I looked through the documentation and found nothing on how one could set the permissions. Maybe a dell mod will give us an answer. I will look into those logs but I am probably not going to try and thing until I get offical word from Dell. If I get anything from them, I will be sure to pass it onto the forum.
