The Remote Web Workplace Link List consists of two link sections. You can choose to enable either of these sections as appropriate for your organization, and then specify permission for viewing the links. The two sections are:

  • Organization links. These links provide network users with quick access to important server or business resources.

  • Administration links. These links enable members of the Windows SBS Admin Tools Group security group to remotely manage certain administrator-only tasks.

Note

You must be a network administrator to complete this procedure.
