The
Controller
permission tab on the Digital Recorder window allows an administrator
to specify which controllers can seize the selected recorder. It shows permissions from
the recorder’s point of view. Permissions from the controller’s point of view can be found
in the Recorder Tab of the Controllers window (described in the previous section).
The last permission change made is the one that remains set. By default, all components
are allowed to access all other components. The administrator must deny permissions.

Green blocks indicate an allowed permission, and white blocks indicate that permission is
