How to make Virtual ViewX read only?

[geoffpatton]

Is there a setting to Make Virtual ViewX read only or do we have to connect it to a DMZ performance server to accomplish read only from Virtual ViewX?

Hi Geoff,

There's read-only and read-only! In 2022 the Virtual ViewX server has a new setting, or absence of setting, to give Virtual ViewX users 'full' access, but add the setting /limited to make it more like WebX, i.e. no configuration (2022 release).

Naturally the user's privilege controls what they can do, and it's always the lower of the privileges which a user gets.

And then last but not least there are the permission restrictions on the server, which you set for ViewX, WebX and the two Virtual ViewX modes I described above. You can have a Virtual ViewX server which is restricted but is connected to the Main/Standby servers (2022 release). Optionally these restrictions can be set on the Main server and pushed to the Standby server(s).

Thanks Steve, I that will provide the security the customer is looking for, otherwise there is always the DMZ server route.
