Computers Tab (Permissions Dialog Box)

      

Use this tab to specify a group of computers that has unique permissions on the master Web server for your Web application. If a user or member of a group with more restrictive permissions uses the computer, these permissions are overridden and the more restrictive permissions are applied. For example, if the user has browser only privileges, but the computer has browse and author privileges, the user's permissions take precedence and the user can only browse the Web application.

Note   This tab is not available if your master Web server is on an operating system using the File Allocation Table file system (FAT), such as Microsoft® Windows® 95, instead of Microsoft® Windows NT® File System (NTFS).
