# Configure control settings

**Control settings** options allow you to control various actions on the client side. These options affect the following Parallels Clients:

* Windows
* Linux
* Mac
* Android
* iOS

### Connections

On the **Connections** pane, select (or clear) the following options:

* **Prohibit adding of RAS connections**. When a user presses the **Add Connection** button, an RDP connection is always created.
* **Prohibit adding standard RDP connections**. When a user presses the **Add Connection** button, a RAS connection is always created

### Password

On the **Password** pane, specify the following options:

* **Prohibit changing password**. The option to change the password will not be shown in the context menu for that particular connection.

### Import and export

On the **Import and Export** pane:
