This may be disabled for each group by turning off theAdministrator and PowerUser settings, respectively, in the Policy Registry Key.Before a non-administrator can use ProtectFile, the policy has to be defined by theadministrator either directly via the registry, or using the policy dialog.Administrators are not affected by the policy settings and can continue to use all ProtectFilefeatures (except if the Administrator or PowerUser registry settings are set to 0).A normal user trying to access the policy will be prompted for the keyphrase. If the correctkeyphrase is presented, a user will be permitted to change all aspects of the policy except forthe keyphrase. Policy settings changed in this way will only remain valid for the period ofthe current logged in session, after which all values will be reset to the standard policysettings as defined in the registry. This feature is available to temporarily allowadministrators to perform a certain action, which would normally not be permitted via theuser‘s machine.When increasing the minimum keyphrase length, existing, shorter keyphrases will not beaccepted any longer.34 © SafeNet, Inc.
