Invite a computer to join the managed network
If a computer is added to the managed network, or another
unmanaged computer exists on the network, you can invite that

the permission level you want to assign to the joining computer.

2
Click
Manage this computer
under
I want to.

In the Invite a computer to join the managed network dialog
box, do one of the following:
Click
Allow guest access to managed network
programs
to allow the computer access to the network
(you can use this option for temporary users in your
home).
Click
Allow full access to managed network programs
to allow the computer access to the network.
Click
Allow administrative access to managed network
programs
to allow the computer access to the network
with administrative permissions. It also allows the
computer to grant access to other computers that want to
join the managed network.
4
Click
OK
.
An invitation to join the managed network is sent to the
computer. When the computer accepts the invitation, two
playing cards appear.

breach on the managed network. Allowing the computer to join
the network can place other computers at risk; therefore, click
Reject Access
in the security confirmation dialog box.
