Joining a managed network

If no computers on the network you are connected to have
SecurityCenter, you are made a member of the network and are
prompted to identify whether the network is trusted. As the first
computer to join the network, your computer name is included in
the network name; however, you can rename the network at any
time.
When a computer connects to the network, it sends a join request
to the other computers on the network. The request can be
granted by any computer with administrative permissions on the
network. The grantor can also determine the permission level for
the computer that joins the network; for example, guest (file
transfer only) or full/administrative (file transfer and file sharing).
In EasyNetwork, computers with administrative access can grant
access to other computers and manage permissions (promote or
demote computers); computers with full access cannot perform
these administrative tasks.
Note: After you join, if you have other McAfee networking
programs installed (for example, Network Manager), the
computer is also recognized as a managed computer in those
programs. The permission level that is assigned to a computer in
EasyNetwork applies to all McAfee networking programs. For
more information about what guest, full, or administrative
permissions mean in other McAfee networking programs, see the
documentation provided for that program.
