At Ease 4 for Workgroups can log activity on the systems. Actions that can be logged include applications used, security "risks", user logins, and printer usage.


This screen shot shows an example of the log.


At ease can also monitor disk usage and it can set quotas on disk use. .


At Ease can control what networked printers are automatically available when the user logs in.


It can also automatically mount specified file shares when a user logs in.


Here is an interesting function: It can restrict the client computers to allow the users to use only certain CD-ROMs at the local computer. This was back when hard drives were often smaller in storage space than a CD-ROM so it would not have been feasible to load a CD on the server hard drive or, due to speed,  share it on a server CD drive.


Finally, more restriction settings. And there are even more restrictions on the per-workgorup level. Again, At Ease was used to manage groups of Macintosh computers, often in public places or corporate environments, where it was undesirable for individual users to be able to make alterations to the system or have full access to all features of the computers.
