The tools may elevate a user's rights after a user enters a secure access sequence, such as Control+Alt+Delete, clicks on a button, or enters credentials. The tools may also enable a user to identify tasks that need higher rights to be performed by visually correlating graphic indicia with these tasks.

  • Method for inserting interactive HTML objects into an electronic file
    Patent number: 6493733
    Abstract: A method for automatically inserting an interactive HTML object into an existing web page without the user having any knowledge of programming in HTML or server-side scripts. The method is contained in a utility and referred as “WEB Content Customization” (WCC). The WCC utility is launched from a web authoring tool, such as a desktop publishing computer program, when the user selects the option to insert interactive HTML object into their web page. The WCC utility provides a user with the ability to customize their web page by inserting interactive HTML object using the same web site authoring computer program module, such as a desktop publishing computer application program that was used to create the web page. The WCC utility creates a dialog box in the web-authoring tool and opens the remote site in the dialog box. The dialog contains at least one window that displays a list of the available interactive HTML object that the user may select.
