2. Membership of the
user
group provides the user with 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 have been
checked for them, using services that have been enabled
3. If a user is set up with
pptd, dialin, ftp
or
pmshell
group membership they will have
restricted user shell access to the nominated managed devices but they will not have any
direct access to the console server itself. To add this the users must also be a member of the
"users" or "admin" groups
4. The
Administrator
can also set up additional Groups with specific power device, serial port
and host access permissions. However users in these additional groups don’t have any
access to the Management Console menu nor do they have any command line access to the
console server
itself.
5. The
Administrator
can also set up users with specific power device, serial port and host
access permissions, who are not a member of any Groups. Similarly these users don’t have
any access to the Management Console menu nor do they have any command line access to
the
console server
itself.
6. For convenience the SDT Connector “Retrieve Hosts” function retrieves and auto-configures
checked serial ports and checked hosts only, even for admin group users
To set up new Groups and new users, and to classify users as members of particular Groups:
Select
Serial & Network: Users & Groups
to display the configured Groups and Users.
Click
Add Group
to add a new Group.
Add a
Group
name and
Description
for each new Group, then nominate the
Accessible Hosts,
Accessible Ports,
and
Accessible RPC Outlets(s)
that you want any users in this new Group to be
able to access.
Click
Apply.
