Desktop alert software: Roles, Policies and permissions.

This video demonstrates setting up specific roles and policies in Deskalerts. The Organizational Unit tree (OU tree) can be used in order to grant specific publisher/editor permissions to send/create or modify desktop alert content for specific users, groups or organization units.

Desktop alerts can only be addressed to users selected from active directory tree alert server. Make sure that you configure appropriate policies for desktop alert editors and desktop alert publishers in your organization. Enforce strict control over who can communicate with which parts of your organization based on Active Directory.
