Description

Hello

I wrote about this in the suggestions forum and i was told to add this here as an enhancement feature.

We have a server running special analysis software with several VBOXES installed on it.

Each VBox assigned to a different worker. however we want to restrict the access to/enable running those VBoxes to their

assigned worker only!

So our enhancement feature request is to add an option called "Enable Password protect" This password would be stored (encrypted of course) on the VDI and When someone would try to run the VB it would check if there is a password, If there is one it would popup a box asking for it. Unless the password entered correctly the virtual box wont start and wont let the person make any changes to the configuration of the box.

We don't want to encrypt all of the VDI ! :-)

We Only want a simple way to restrict access to/running and changing the configuration of the box by unauthorized worker.

You can call it "Enable Password Protect" or "Admin Password Protect " Or "Configuration/Running Password Protect" or "Vbox Password protect" etc…

Thank you Avi
