In the Permissions tab of the Advanced Security Settings window, select an entry for which you want to assign advanced permissions and click Edit. The Permission Entry window opens.  Each advanced permission is treated individually; click Allow or Deny for any of them. The following permissions exist:
 
u   Connect for Services determines whether a domain account or machine-local account has permission to connect to this PC-Duo Host computer. It does not determine what a PC-Duo Master user can do once connected to this PC-Duo Host computer, but you must (through this setting) allow the connection permission for a PC-Duo Master PC-Duo Master user or PC-Duo Gateway for the remote connection to occur.
u   Remote View determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group can view the screen of the Host computer once connected. Without this permission, the PC-Duo Master user may connect for other services, such as file transfer, but sees a message in the Remote Control window that remote view access is denied.
u   Input Control determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group as the ability to control the Host computer mouse and keyboard once connected. Without this permission, PC-Duo Master users can only view the screen of the Host computer.
u   File Transfer Read determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group has the ability to navigate to and read files that are located on the Host computer. Without this permission, PC-Duo Master users can navigate to drives or subdirectories on the Host computer, but cannot see the contents of those directories. This permission gives you the right to use the File Transfer feature to read files. Additionally, file system access is still controlled by the Windows Security settings for files and directories, so you must have read permission on the files and directories you want to access.
u   File Transfer Write determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group has the ability to write files to the Host computer. Without this permission, PC-Duo Master users cannot make any changes to files or directories on the Host computer. This permission gives you the right to use the File Transfer feature to write files. Additionally, file system access is still controlled by the Windows Security settings for files and directories, so you must have write permission on the files and directories you want to access.
u   Remote Printing determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group can connect to the Host computer and use the remote printing feature. This feature allows PC-Duo Master users to print from applications running on the Host computer to a printer connected to the Master computer and vice versa. You must enable both the Connect for Services and Remote Printing permissions to enable this functionality.
u   Clipboard Read determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group can copy information from the Host computer Windows clipboard to another application on the PC-Duo Master user’s local computer.
u   Clipboard Write determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or a group can copy information from the Windows clipboard on their local computer to an open application running on the Host computer.
u   Chat: Determines whether a PC-Duo Master user can be added to a private chat room including the PC-Duo Host user, and any other PC-Duo Master users connected to the same Host.
u   Bypass Connection Permission determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or group can connect to a PC-Duo Host without causing the Permission to Connect window to pop-up on the Host even if it is set to do so.
u   Read Permissions determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or group can view the Service Security tab of the PC-Duo Host Security Settings window.
u   Change Permissions determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or group can modify the permissions on the Service Security tab.
u   Take Ownership determines whether a PC-Duo Master user or group can take ownership.
