Configure User Access Control
Another method for controlling access to the serial ports on the Digi CM unit is the User Access
Control configuration. You can set up this configuration either globally (using the All Ports option) or
per port.
It is not necessary to have users added to the system to assign rights. However, for the permissions
or restrictions to be enforced, the username must match exactly. The username is case sensitive,
and the application does not recognize misspellings.
To add users, click on "System administration > Users administration". For details about adding
users, see
Note
Users do not need to be authenticated locally; they can be users on any configured
authentication server.
Using Access lists, you can add rights to a single user or to multiple users at the same time. In
addition, you can group multiple users and assign one, some, or all these rights:
▪
Port access rights
▪
Port monitor rights
▪
Power management rights to an access list.

This scenario shows a configuration with a restricted user: Joe does not have access to the Sun
server, while Mike does.
Your strategy for assigning rights to a port can include:
▪
Allowing <<Everyone>> access to a port and then restricting access to certain users -or-
▪
Specifying each individual user and their specific rights to a port.
▪
Adding a user to an established group (Access list) with preconfigured rights to a port.
