Opening Files in Windows or Mac

When a device is in a Circle and attempts to open a file protected by SecureCircle, the user will not notice any change in workflow. The file name and extension will remain the same. The user will not be asked for passwords or to use a helper application to authenticate.

Administrators do control the list of applications that are allowed to access files within a Circle. If the application hasn’t been approved, the user will not be able to access the file.

The default Allowed List for a Circle is:

• Acrobat Reader
• Office Applications
• WordPad
• Win Word
• MS Paint

This list is easily configurable. For adding applications into the Allowed List, please contact your SecureCircle administrator.
