When running over the network are there certain features taken away. For example the Named User checkbox?

Question
Administration Console. When running the Administration Console over the network.
Answer
Peter, a lot of placed do not want to run the web admin. They only want to use the thick admin console.
Chad, have you checked to make sure the domain user is listed as a LF system manager?
The client was just curious and I have no environment that I can test remote access to the server with. It does not seem to function over a WAN connection. They are logging in the same both locally and on the workstation with ADMIN. From the workstation no Named User check box exists. Just trying to find an exact answer for them.
I am referring to the System Managers node. Is the domain user that is connecting listed as a system manager?
Oh! I will check.
That was it. He was logging in as Admin, not using Domain Authentication but somehow his domain account still needed to be added there.
FYI, the user you are logging into a repository as, whether as the Laserfiche 'ADMIN' user account (or another user with repository privileges) or not, has zero bearing on this, because this is all at the Server level, not the repository level. Domain credentials is the only thing that matters here.

If a user isn't a system manager, they won't see a number of items, including any of the items in Berts screenshot aside from the Repositories node itself and as well as the Named User checkboxes, so this is likely the issue.
Users who are local admins on the Laserfiche Server machine will automatically be system managers, otherwise they can be added manually as Bert shows. For Web Admin you need to manually log in as a system manager so it's clear that's what is going on, but in desktop Admin it's an automatic process so it's either there or it's not.
I have Web Admin into Laserfiche 9.1.1 on a network server that is off our domain.
The user details appear as:
