At Ease 3.0.x, Restricted Finder, and Installer Issue

I'm using At Ease 3.0.1 on the workstations in my workgroup, and I have set the users to have a Restricted Finder. I have deselected items users are not allowed to access on a CD-ROM disc, however, users are able to access these deselected items, like an application installer. What am I doing wrong?

This issue happens with all versions of At Ease for Workgroups 3.0, including the latest version 3.0.2. The Restricted Finder, in At Ease for Workgroups 3.0.x, does not handle removable media properly. In fact, when a user goes into the Settings... option, to specify which files can or cannot be seen on a particular CD, the instructions at the top of the window states, these settings are for the Panels.

Below that it says, everything will be visible in the Finder. What is not specifically stated is, what is true for the Finder is also true for the Restricted Finder.

This issue has been resolved in At Ease 4.0 which is part of the Apple Network Administrator Toolkit.

The feature works properly both in Panels and Restricted Finder.

You should do one of the following:

'Not use the Restricted Finder with At Ease 3.0.x version
' Upgrade to At Ease 4.0 if you need this control in the Restricted Finder
