For a person object or organizational unit object, choose Use parent setting (on the command line, --serialport 2) to inherit the setting
of a parent object in the organizational hierarchy. This allows you to enable or disable access to serial ports for many users without having to edit each
person object.
For organization objects, the Use parent setting means use the array-wide setting configured on the Array Properties panel of Array Manager.
When a user starts a Windows application, Secure Global Desktop checks the person object for the user and then any parent object further up the organizational hierarchy to see whether access to serial ports is enabled or disabled. If all the objects checked are configured to use the parent's setting, then the array-wide default setting is used.
By default, access to serial ports is enabled.
--serialport 0
Disables access to serial ports.
