ZCentral Connect has a very useful feature that allows the power to be controlled remotely.
However, we do not want our clients to be able to turn off the power.
Is there any way to restrict clients from powering off?

Please let me know if anyone can figure it out.

 

Best Regards

I'm not sure, but I think it should be

"DisablePowerOperationsForUsers": "true"

Here is the property you can use to stop users from being able to power off systems.

/* Removes the capability to perform power operations from the HP ZCentral Connect Client Portal. */
"DisablePowerOperationsForUsers": "false",

 

Here is where this is done:

3.6. Advanced Settings
HP ZCentral Connect has a certain number of settings that can be configured but they are not currently accessible through the HP ZCentral Connect Portal.
Administrators are able to customize HP ZCentral Connect behavior by changing the settings file located at
%PROGRAMDATA%\HP\ZCentralConnectManager\settings.json.
NOTE ZCentral Connect Manager service must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Hello, Kelly,

 

I have tried your setitngs as the following,

1. Open settings.json file

2. Add below text in the jsonfile.

 "DisablePowerOperationsForUsers": "false"

3. Save json file.

4. Restart Zcentral Connect Manager service

 

But it doesn't work... (General users could access to power operation in the ZCentral connect client portal.

 

Is there something wrong about my settings?

 

Regards,
