CMG-DCM
Administrators
Users of the DCM can be one of two kinds.
•
Unprivileged users can log in or view the Web interface of the DCM,
including its current configuration, but cannot change any of the options,
nor configure any instruments attached to the DCM
•
Administrators may change settings or configure attached digitizers as
they please.
You may want to give different users separate accounts for tracking or other
purposes, or to allow users to set their own preferences when logging in.
Alternatively, you may prefer to restrict access only to those with administrative
requirements, by removing any unprivileged user accounts. If you want to
access the DCM by any means, locally or remotely, you must have a username
and password on the list given here.
If this is the first time you have logged in to the DCM, there will be a single
user,
root
, whose password is factory-set. To add a new user, fill in their
username and password in the top two boxes of the page. Repeat the password
in the next box, to ensure it is entered correctly (since it will not be visible on
screen), and click on Add user. A username may not contain spaces or colons.
You should be shown an acknowledgement screen, indicating that the new user
account has been created. The user will be able to log in with that username and
password by any of the methods currently available to the device, and from any
location. More complex access controls cannot be performed through the Web
administration system, although you can of course use the features of the
DCM's underlying Linux operating system to implement them if required.
