18.2 Permissions
18.2.1 Introduction
Access to the controllers' configuration and functionality is protected with user permission access. The controller is supplied with a
number of default
Groups
,
Users
and
Passwords
.
INFO
Only users with the correct permission may access, configure, or update the configuration.
Permission structure
The permissions structure allows the creation and maintenance of
users
and
groups
within each controller configuration. These are
stored locally on each controller, and therefore each controller can store its own set of user permissions and groups.

However, you can also
Broadcast
these settings to any or all of the other connected controller(s), which creates the same
permissions on them.
