I want to create multiple users in my VPS. Is it possible to restrict those users from accessing my programs and content of C disk?

f you need to create multiple users on your VPS, it is essential to manage their access to ensure the security of your files and programs.

Can Users Access the C: Drive?

By default, all RDP users have their profiles created within the C: drive, which gives them read access to data stored there. However, users cannot access other users' profile folders.

How to Restrict Access to the C: Drive?

To prevent users from accessing sensitive data or installed programs, consider these steps:

• Modify NTFS Permissions: Adjust security settings to limit user access to specific folders.

• Use Group Policy: Restrict access to the C: drive using Windows Group Policy settings.

• Implement Software Restriction Policies: Prevent unauthorized users from running certain applications.

• Create Separate Partitions: Store sensitive data on a separate drive (e.g., D:) and restrict access accordingly.

Best Practices for RDP Access Management

• Grant RDP access only to trusted users.

• Regularly review and update user permissions.

• Use strong authentication and security measures to protect sensitive data.

If you store sensitive information on your VPS, we strongly recommend limiting RDP access to only authorized users.
