Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Printing and Faxing / July 2007Fax & scan - Hanging up a call from a user account?
Hello, Using Vista's fax & scan we tried hanging up on a call (it wasn't a fax on the other end), but it won't let us. It wanted administrator rights, but it won't even offer entering the password, like when installing something. How can I give that right without sacrificing security The issue obviously refers to a regular non-administrative user account. As I wrote in the subject line. > Hello, > Using Vista's fax & scan we tried hanging up on a call (it wasn't a fax on > the other end), but it won't let us.

I've been looking for information on what each grants, but I couldn't find anything. I'm completely clueless about them. We can fax and receive as it is, without them being checked. Any clue what they grant? > What permissions have you granted in Tools > Fax Settings > Security? > > Hello, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > won't even offer entering the password, like when installing something. > > How can I give that right without sacrificing security Seems to me you should check the others since you want your user to be able to change the settings. What am I missing here?

Just being able to hang up on a call that isn't even from a fax machine. I was wondering if there is any documentation of what each option allows. So that I don't over grant them permissions that would change things for other users. > Seems to me you should check the others since you want your user to be able > to change the settings.

To workaround this: 1. Go to [Windows Fax and Scan/Tools/Fax Settings] 2. In the [Security] page, click on "Advanced" 3. In the [Permissions] page, select "INTERACTIVE", and click [Edit] 4. Check Allow for "Manage Server Receive folder", and press [OK] 5. Press [OK] until returning to WFS. Users should be able to hang up phone now. Let us know if this works for you.
