Users and groups
Efficient rights management
The KVM switch administrates up to 256 user accounts and the same number of
user groups. Each user of the system can be a member of up to 20 user groups.
Both a user account and a user group can be assigned different rights.
Effective right
The effective right determines the right to carry out a particular function.
EXAMPLE:
The user
Sample
is member of the groups
Office
and
MuxConfig
.
The following table shows the rights of the user account and the assigned groups as
well as the resulting effective right:
ADVICE:
With appropriate planning and implementation of user groups as well as
the rights assigned to them, you can manage rights almost completely via user
groups.
This allows you to change user rights quickly and efficiently.
IMPORTANT:
The effective right is the highest right and results from the individual
right of a user account and the rights of the assigned group(s).
In the OSD, the individual right is displayed in yellow. The effective right is dis-
played in green.
