    Description

    Web Access

    Select Web Access to provide access to only an end-user's user files, as defined by the administrator, across all CVD snapshots. The Mirage client user can access the Web Access feature to only download their files at http://server:6080/Explorer.

    Admin Web Access

    Select Admin Web Access to give the administrator full access to all user CVDs across all CVD snapshots. The administrator can access the Admin Web Access feature to download all files of any user at http://server:6080/AdminExplorer.

    By default, both the Web Access and Admin Web Access web applications are configured for the file portal. You can choose not to configure either of these options by clicking the drop-down menu and selecting Entire feature will be unavailable.
