Reference for New Account rights checkboxes?

[donmontalvo]

Is there a detailed reference for all the new account rights check boxes in JSS? The Casper Suite Administrator's Guide 8.6 PDF does not explain what the checkboxes do (exactly).

Thanks,
Don

Don't think there's a reference. The best way I've found to discover what they do is to uncheck them and log in with the account and see what's missing as far as functionality. Of course, that should only apply to the ones that aren't completely obvious. I know that's a tedious way to do it, and possibly error prone, but I don't know how else you'd know.
It would be good if JAMF documented this, maybe in a KB article. It doesn't really need to be in the full admin guide. THat doc is large enough already.

Yep, we're doing it now...and yes, it's tedious. :/

Figured if JAMF has an in house reference, or someone who is intimately familiar with the functions associated with each box, it would be great for them to publish it, if only so we can can know, instead of winging it. :)

It's worth a shot to see if JAMF responds... ;)

Agreed. We'll see what comes of Casper Suite 9. There are going to be more account privilege settings I imagine in the new version. Back when there weren't too many this approach was manageable, but with each release and new capabilities, this turn it off, see what happens approach will quickly become unmanageable. its time this get some documentation love.
And, I'd still like to see some kind of template creation capability or a way to duplicate an existing users settings when creating a new one so we don't have to go through it all and check them manually. That at least may be in the new version.
