Workspace Security in Trusted Extensions

In Trusted Extensions, the workspaces and desktop applications are label-aware. Applications run at the label of the current workspace and display information only at the label of the process that opened the application.

The behavior and location of security features for the trusted desktop are as follows:

• The Trusted Path menu is available from the trusted stripe.

• The label name of a window in the task list on the panel appears in a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the window. Similarly, the label name of a workspace in the switch area appears in the tooltip.

• To change a role, you click the account name in the trusted stripe and choose the role.

• To add a workspace at a particular label, you select an existing workspace and change its label.

• The desktop is configured so that each workspace reflects the color of the label at which you are working in that workspace. The panels on the bottom stripe also display the label color.
