Re: Client Access - users clicking the red X while still signed on

IBM doesn't "support" it, but it is in there...
It is a "undocumented" policy at this time...
(I currently have it running on my profile at this time)

The Red X is not allowed,
however, I still can click on the menu, Communication, Disconnect.
thereby making the taking away of the Red X, moot.

But I think there is a policy that can take the menu away...
