•Read Backup - Enables creating the iPhone backup by reading the device data from a PC.
Note: An iPhone device is backed up by iTunes each time users sync with iTunes (automatically on the first sync, every time they connect it to the computer). To allow synchronization to complete successfully, grant the Read Backup permission to users for the iPhone device type. Otherwise, if iTunes automatically creates an iPhone backup, the synchronization session will be interrupted. To avoid interrupting the synchronization process, users should set iTunes to sync only the content to which they are allowed access. |

•Screenshot - Enables capturing screenshots of the entire screen, the active window or any segment of the screen.
Note: Screenshots made with special programs for creating screenshots are saved directly to files, while screenshots taken with the PRINT SCREEN key are first copied to the clipboard and then pasted into the desired program (for example, Microsoft Word or Paint). When using special programs, the screenshot event falls into the audit immediately when a screenshot is created with such a program, whereas when the PRINT SCREEN key is pressed, the event falls into the audit only when the screenshot is pasted into the desired program. To capture screenshots by pressing the PRINT SCREEN key, the user must have the Screenshot and Copy Image rights. If users do not have the Screenshot right, they cannot take screenshots with either the PRINT SCREEN key, or using special programs for creating screenshots. |
When using special permissions, consider the following:
•The Copy Text, Copy Image, Copy Audio, Copy File, and Copy Unidentified Content rights do not control data copying to the clipboard. Users can always copy data to the clipboard regardless of the rights they have.
•In some cases, users can use the clipboard to move different types of data in Rich Text Format (RTF), such as Text, Image, File, either individually or in different combinations. To allow users to copy and paste different types of RTF data, you must grant them the appropriate rights (such as Copy Text, Copy Image and Copy File).
•If access (read and/or write) to some content type is denied during the iPhone or Windows Mobile synchronization process, you have to replug the device in order to continue using the iPhone or Windows Mobile device.
•When users attempt to synchronize a Palm handheld device over a network and DeviceLock denies access to some content type, the synchronization session is interrupted. To avoid this situation, users should set the HotSync application to sync only the content to which they are allowed access before attempting synchronization.
