Hi all;  This is kevin from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut Canada.  I have been trying without success to add my daughter's new

PC to my Webroot Account which has room for 5 devices?  Can someone give some very simple non tech instructions about how to do this?  Also can someone please tell me how to deactivate a device that is no longer in service?  I appreciate your time to read this and I hope someone can help.

 

Best to all,

Hi Sherry; I really... really appreciate your help. I was able to install WRoot on my daughter's PC. I am not able to deactivate the pc. I have no "commands" tab on the devices listed under my PC Security

section. This isn't urgent. The adding of my daughter's device was much more pressing and this has been accomplished because of your help. Many thanks. Best to you. kevin

Hi Sherry; My Security level is set to medium. I don't show an "edit" option beside User Configuration and can't find where to change the setting. I don't want to get stuck here after experiencing the victory and exhilaration of success with getting Wroot on my daughter's computer. No worries. Best to all. kevin

Kevin you might also need to check your Permissions in your Account Console.

 

If you have Admin permission you can edit permissions for other users in your account, as well as your own.

 

To set user permissions:


  1. Open the SecureAnywhere website menu and click Manage Users.
     
  2. Locate the user whose permissions you want to change and click the edit icon.



    The Account Settings page opens to the User Details tab.
     
  3. Open the Permissions tab and set this user's permissions for Webroot SecureAnywhere products. You can change permissions only for products to which you have access permission.

Admin access gives the Webroot SecureAnywhere user access to all keycodes, users, and account settings in the account. Admin access gives the PC Security user the ability to edit that computer's scan policy.

 

If you still have trouble deactivating your PC then please Submit a Support Ticket and they will address this. for you.
Hi Kevin, I hope  am not confusing you but you should have your PC Security set to User Configuration. But gp ahead Contact Support and they will help you.
Thanks Sherry. I'll give this a shot and let you know. Thanks.

Just one last question Sherry.  I have been the only owner of my Webroot account since I first bought the service in 2010 or so.

 

Is it possible that I haven't properly initiated Admin. Access?... This may explain the difficulty I'm having in locating several of

areas that you mention.  My many inquiries about stuff that seems like it should be easily resolved is becoming embarrassing, but I don't want to give up after making some progress with the help of you and your support team colleagues.

Dear Sherry;  You are not confusing me in the least.  With your help and others I have accomplished something with my Webroot software that was previously impossible. For that I am very grateful.   I will contact support to get my settings adjusted.

After that the remainder of minor issues shall be easily resolved.

 

Best to all,

Hi Kevin,

 

Yes you could be having issues if your Permissions are not set to Adminstrator/Access and it's best to have "User Configuration" in PC Securirty. I am not sure why or what issues you are having exactly. Are you able to set the User Configuration and the Permsisions?

 

Let me ping @ and see what he has to say about these settings or issues that you are having.
There's nothing more I can add as Sherry posted all the needed info but maybe this will help: http://live.webrootanywhere.com/wsawebsitehelp
