1.31 Manage Users
When connecting to the receiver, users can remain "anonymous", or can log in using
the
login
command. What anonymous users can do depends on the connection type.
By default, anonymous users have full control of the receiver. This default configura-
tion can be changed with the
setDefaultAccessLevel
command. For example, to
prevent anonymous access to the web interface and to the FTP server, you would use:
setDefaultAccessLevel, none, none <CR>
To perform actions not allowed to anonymous users, you first need to authenticate your-
self by entering a user name and a password through the
login
command. The list
of user names and passwords and their respective access level is managed with the
setUserAccessLevel
command. Login fails if the provided user name or password is
not in that list.
Logged-in users are granted one of the following access levels: "
User
" or "
Viewer
". The
"
User
" level allows full control of the receiver, while the "
Viewer
" level only allows to view
the configuration.
The following explains how to add or delete a user.
1. Check the current user list by entering the following command:
getUserAccessLevel <CR>
The reply to this command looks like:
UserAccessLevel, User1, "admin", "R46NCG", User
UserAccessLevel, User2, "", "", Viewer
UserAccessLevel, User3, "", "", Viewer
...
2. In the example shown above, only one user is defined:
User1
with user name
admin
.
For security reasons, the password shown here (
R46NCG
) is random and does not cor-
respond to the actual password. It can be seen that the level of access of the
admin
user is "
User
": that particular user has full control of the receiver.
To add a new user "
john
" with password "
abc123
" and to give full access to that user,
select a free user index, e.g.
User2
in the above example, and type:
setUserAccessLevel,User2,john,abc123,User <CR>
3. You can add up to eight users in this way. Deleting a user involves entering an empty
string ("") as user name and password. For example, to delete the "
admin
" user from
the above list, use:
setUserAccessLevel,User1,"","" <CR>
The user list also applies to FTP, SFTP and
rsync
accesses. Users having the "
User
" access
right are allowed to delete files from the internal disk via FTP, SFTP or
rsync
, while "
Viewer
"
users can only download files.
