PS: The Master password and it’s group setup does not require the Permission Manager tool, you just need to input your group name and password in the password setup dialog box which appears when you click 'Burn’ button.
How to setup the Permission Manager settings for end-users? (different PCs or different user account on the same PC) - Step by Step

- Find the "RBPermission.grp" that was created by the Administrator, type %appdata% into the File Explorer address bar to open the folder "C:\Users\%current user%\AppData\Roaming” and go to the “Roxio\Roxio Burn\PermissionManager” folder and copy the RBPermission.grp file to “D:\RSB Deploy”
- Copy GenWorkGroupID.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Roxio\Roxio Burn Administration\ to D:\RSB Deploy
- Log in as the user and run the following command line in a Command Prompt window: D:\RSB Deploy\GenWorkGroupID.exe {EFA2CC54-F94B-4253-B2BE-D7B67CCD3F82} C:\PM\RBPermission.grp (Substitute the GUID here with the one generated in Step 2 #1
- After running the command line above, there is a now a RBPermission.grp file in %appdata%\ Roxio\Roxio Burn \PermissionManager\
- Please reboot the PC and run Roxio Secure Burn, open Option panel, “Force password protection…” is enabled and checked

There is another way to deploy the settings without copying the both files to every PCs. You can put the GenWorkGroupID.exe and RBPermission.grp in a shared folder of a PC and enable access right for every users, then run the below command line in every user accounts, which no need to copy files to every user accounts.
- \\%PC shared folder%\GenWorkGroupID.exe {FE0E0959-988D-4e93-BE62-FD681B093BA3} \\%PC shared folder%\RBPermission.grp

TROUBLESHOOTING
Installation question
When the installation cannot be proceeded well, please check if the C++ redistributable package from Microsoft is installed.
Unknown error happen when encrypting/burning data
When unknown encrypting data error happening, please try to disable "Always compress data when encrypting" and try again
This case might happen when restoring your encrypted data to local hard disk.
When you are trying to restore the encrypted data from disc or USB drive to local hard disk, there is a message shows up to inform you the file cannot be restored successfully. When encountering this message, please check if there is any anti-virus application is working
Please ensure your hard disk space is enough when restoring data.
When you are trying to restore the encrypted data from disc or USB drive to local hard disk, RSB will check if the local hard disk available space is over 3 times of the encrypted data
My external harddrive is not showing up, or is showing up as a local disk.
Roxio Secure Burn supports external hard drives - here is the detail logic of the which drives will be show:
- If the device type is removable, it can show in Roxio Secure Burn
- Some USB connected drive will show as local disk, this based on how Windows detect the device, per our testing, some USB connected devices will be show as local disk. If the device type is local disk, then check the device instance path. If the path contains USBSTOR, the prefix for most USB thumbs. So if the hard disk is connected by hard disk, and it's detected as a local disk by Windows, it will not show.
This is known issue when users decrypt the discs or USB drive that are encrypted by RSB4 in the machine only installed RSB3
The reason is when the PC only has RSB3, when users decrypt data, it will use RSB3 to decrypt data, but if the data was encrypted by RSB4, RSB3 cannot decrypt RSB4's encrypted data well. The solution is to install RSB4 in the PC. or please contact the customer support to have the latest Patch of RSB3 to fix this issue.
There are some settings in Options are greyed and not-changeable, like " Always close DVD disc" , "Enable log", "Access only the data encrypted with Roxio Secure Burn"… How can I change these settings?
If you are IT administrator, you should install the Permission Manager tool and change these settings in Permission Manager tool.If you would like to deploy the settings to the other users who have no Permission Manager tool installed, you should refer to above item(How to setup these settings of Permission Manager to end-users ? (different PCs or different user account in same PC) - Step by Step) to deploy the settings to the other users
"Always close DVD disc" is not just for DVD-R/+R disc, it also can apply to BD-R/+R disc.
Why there are 2 GUI of RSB, one has the caption (Window), another one does have
- When you insert a disc or USB drive, the Gadget mode (without caption name, Window) will be launched automatically.
- When you close the RSB Gadget by click 'Exit' in the context menu of Do more, you can double click the shortcut of RSB to launch it in Application mode (has Caption & Window), where has X at the right-up corner to close it.
