Other settings
>
Use highlighted systray icon when problematic clients found
Select this option in conjunction with the Edit button to define events which will trigger a change in color to the ERAC
icon in the notification area.
If the ERAC on the administrator’s PC is going to be connected permanently to ERAS, we recommend that you select
the
Show on taskbar when minimized
option and leave the Console minimized when inactive. If a problem occurs,
the icon in the notification area will turn red – which is a signal for the administrator to intervene. We also recommend
adjusting the option
Use highlighted systray icon when problematic clients found
in order to specify which
events will trigger a color change of the ERAC icon. However, the ERAC will disconnect if database compression is
enabled on the server.

3.6 Display modes
ERAC offers the user two display modes:
Administrative mode
Read-only mode
The administrative mode of ERAC gives the user full control over all features and settings, as well as the ability to
administer all client workstations connected to it.
The read-only mode is suitable for viewing the status of ESET client solutions connecting to ERAS; creation of tasks for
client workstations, creation of install packages and remote installation are not allowed. The License Manager, Policy
Manager and Notification Manager are also inaccessible. Read-only mode does allow the administrator to modify ERAC
settings and generate reports.
The Display mode is selected at each console startup in the
Access
drop-down menu, while the password to connect to
ERAS can be set for either display mode. Setting a password is especially useful if you want some users to be given full
access to ERAS and others read-only access. To set the password, click
Tools
>
Server Options...
>
Security
and click
the
Change...
button next to Password for Console (Administrator Access) or (Read-Only Access).
