Security Policies - Microsoft Management Console

Endpoint Central supports configuring the following security policies in Microsoft Management Console category:

Security Policy	Description
Restrict user from entering author mode	Users cannot create console files or add or remove snap-ins. Also, because they cannot open author-mode console files, they cannot use the tools that the files contain.
Restrict users to the explicitly permitted list of snap-ins	All snap-ins are prohibited, except those that you explicitly permit. Use this setting if you plan to prohibit use of most snap-ins.
