Add/ Edit Users
The
Administrator
uses this menu selection to set up, edit, and delete users, and to define the access
permissions for each of these users.
Users
can be authorized to access specified
console server
serial ports and specified network-attached
hosts. These users can also be given full
Administrator
status (with full configuration and management
and access privileges).
To simplify user set up, they can be configured as members of Groups. There are two Groups set up by
default (
admin
and
user
).
1.
Members of the
admin
group have full
Administrator
privileges. The
admin
user (
Administrator
)
can access the
console server
using any of the services that are enabled in
System: Services
. For
example, if only HTTPS has been enabled, then the
Administrator
can only access the
console
server
using HTTPS. Once logged in, they can reconfigure the
console server
settings (for
example, to enabled HTTP/Telnet for future access). They can also access any of the connected
Hosts or serial port devices using any of the services that have been enabled for these
connections. The
Administrator
can reconfigure the access services for any Host or serial port.
Only trusted users should have
Administrator
access.
Note:
For convenience, the SDT Connector
―Retrieve Hosts‖ function retrieves and auto-configures
checked serial ports and checked hosts only, even for admin group users.
2.
Members of the
user
group have limited access to the
console server
and connected Hosts and
serial devices. These
Users
can access only the Management section of the Management
Console menu and they have no command line access to the
console server
. They also can only
access those Hosts and serial devices that are checked for them, using services that are enabled.
3.
The
Administrator
can also set up additional Groups with specific serial port and host access
permissions (same as
Users
). However, users in these additional groups don’t have any access to
the Management Console menu or any command line access to the
console server
itself. Finally,
