Chapter 5: General Tasks
Administrative User Maintenance
The DHCPatriot system supports multiple administrative type users each with different
passwords and permission levels. These permission levels range from 0-6. 0 should
be used for customer service personnel as it allows access to a minimal set of
functions. Level 1 should be used for technical support personnel as it allows access to
a wider variety of functions that would be useful in troubleshooting user problems.
Admin level 5 is meant for higher level administrative personnel such as various
managers of Technical Support or Customer Service. Level 6 is meant for IT
administrators who will be responsible for actually setting up networks, subnets and
general settings on the DHCPatriot system.
Other important settings are API user which, if checked, means the user has access
only to the remote access API. If it is not checked, then the user has access to only the
Web Administration Interface. The two Admin User Restriction (Auth and Standard)
settings are used for restricting user access to certain networks. This is not a security
feature, but rather an interface cleanup feature that hides irrelevant information from
users. Any networks that are checked will show for the user and other networks will be
hidden, but data could be found
in other places such as Search
DHCP Logs.
The configuration screen for
Administrative users is
accessed by opening the
System Configuration menu
and clicking on Administrators.
You will be shown a form and a
list of users as shown in figure
5.1. To Add a user, simply
complete the form and click
Commit. To edit a user, click
on Edit and the form will auto-
fill with their information. Make
the appropriate changes and
click on Commit. To delete a
user, click on Delete and
answer OK to the question of if
you are sure.
