The HP Desk Configurator is designed to provide the HP Desk Administrator

each of these levels of information can be limited to specific
individuals in your organization.  User capability profiles are defined
so that the correct levels of system security are maintained.

HP Desk configuration is the administrative process which enables you to
build your HP Desk Directory of users, and fill the database with
information on how your HP Desk installation will work.

The following diagram shows the major levels and menu screens displayed
