How to restrict access to the Web console.

[jmarmo]

In Lansweeper 4 the instructions for "How to restrict access to the Web console" are not working. These settings do work on my previous version of Lansweeper.

When it's not working,what exactly is happening?

I was never able to get groups working on mine. If you allow users instead of groups, it seems to work fine.

I'm having the same issue. I copied the authorixation section of my web.config from the 3 install but it's not working.

I'm not sure but I think you need the netbios name of the domain for the roles.

Okay, I uninstalled, and re-installed Lansweeper using IIS this time. Here is the error I am getting now:
