These permissions are also configurable from the Web Manager. See User Interface Permissions.

The Permissions tab lets administrators control which Thinfinity® Workspace features each user or group can access, so only authorized personnel reach sensitive areas such as audit logs, administrative controls, and reporting. Select a user or group on the left, then grant or revoke permissions on the right. Permissions are organized into Settings, Modules, and RDC.
