ConsoleWorks 3-65
Users gain access to consoles through profiles. A profile specifies the privileges
granted to any user who is listed in its Users Granted table. Each user has
access to one or more profiles but can use only one profile at a time.
Profiles specify two types of privileges: Console and Admin (administrative).
Console and Admin privileges are independent.
Console privileges are for managing consoles. These privileges identify the level
of interaction a user can have with a console and are hierarchical. That is, the
level of privilege increases from read to control, and a higher level implies all
lower levels.
Console privileges are:
Read – The user has read-only access to a console. The user can monitor a
console’s traffic but cannot interact with the console.
Ack – The user can acknowledge a console’s events.
Write – The user can interact with (write to) the console.
Control – The user can purge acknowledged events and can send protected
characters to the console.
Admin privileges are for managing ConsoleWorks. These privileges are not
hierarchical, but they increase in the capabilities they grant from Read to
Delete.
Admin privileges are:
Read and Write – The user can display and organize information.
Control – The user has access to the Admin menu in the left navigation panel.
Delete – The user can perform a number of delete operations.
The Show Users screen (Figure 3–39) lists the users and the profiles to which
they have access.
