Security Options: Macros

Using the Security Options: Macros dialog box, you can specify how the client should respond to macros that are received as item attachments.

View Macro Security

Always Play Received Macros
Sets the client to play attached macros when the item is opened.

Never Play Received Macros
Sets the client to not play attached macros when an item is opened. You can select this option if the users do not have the hardware they need to run the macros; for example, sound cards.

Always Prompt before Playing a Macro
When an item is opened, displays a selection dialog box to let recipients decide whether to play macros.

Restore Default Settings
Click to return to the default settings and clear any options you have changed.

Lock Buttons
If you click a lock button on any option, users cannot change the default setting for that option. The lock is effective for the object where you set it: domain, post office, or user. A lock at a higher level overrides a different setting at a lower level.

When settings are locked at the domain or post office level, the information is distributed to the levels below it. If a setting is locked at the domain object, the setting in the post office and user objects shows a padlock with a globe next to it, representing a domain. If it is locked at the post office object, the setting at the user object shows a padlock with a postal box next to it, representing a post office.

If a setting cannot be locked at the user level because the option is not available in the GroupWise^® client, the setting in the user object does not contain a lock button. However, a lock icon shows if the setting was locked at the post office or domain.
