Management access can be separately defined for each type of management access method, including, Web
(HTTP), Secure web (HTTPS), Telnet, Secure Telnet and SNMP.
Access to different management methods may differ between user groups. For example, User Group 1 can
access the device only via an HTTPS session, while User Group 2 can access the device via both HTTPS
and Telnet sessions.

methods. Users can also be blocked from accessing the device.
