ABSTRACT:
User account control (such as the UAC component of Windows Vista) is extended to enable users to allow their decisions on how to respond to managed events to be applied to equivalent events for groups, without any further prompting. When a managed event first occurs, the user is presented with an extended dialog prompting for input not only on whether to allow the event for just the user, but also on whether to allow the event for any groups the user manages. Managed groups can comprise all of the user's computers, or multiple user accounts the user manages. The user's response to the prompt and information concerning the managed event are stored. Matching events within a group context are recognized, and appropriate stored responses are automatically applied, without any additional user prompting.
