GROUPS
"Groups" are used to restrict access to stations and macros. The admin account can access any
page, macro, or stations. Other collections of users - "groups" - can be defined to have their
access rights strictly limited to specific assets.
groups.csv : This file determines who can use the router’s web control and what they will be
able to do.
Note: A user is loosely defined as an individual, and a group is a collection of users
that share the same permissions and general behaviors. Each user can have a separate
username and password, but once logged in the user, while still identified as an
individual user, will be treated as a member of a group and will have the permissions
allowed to that group.)
The groups.csv file can be edited either directly with a spreadsheet program, or from the web.
To use the web browser, enter the URL for the web server in the address field and then select
GROUPS from the blue links across the top. Only user groups that the admin has authorized
can see, modify, and save the GROUPS page.
