2.4. Functionality and User Roles
This section provides an overview of the functionality that is available in the Docking Station
Server Admin Console (DSSAC) and on an Instrument Docking Station (IDS). The availability
of functions in the DSSAC is determined by your user role. There are three user roles in the
DSSAC. The functionality of each is explained in the three sections that follow.
Systems Administrator - Can perform all functions in the DSSAC.
Technician - Can perform all functions except: managing users, editing iNet
configuration information, editing events, editing default alarm settings, and
editing default calibration gases.
Guest - Can log in and view information in the DSSAC. This is a read-only role.
NOTE:
Your current role is displayed in the title bar of the DSSAC application after you have
logged in. An example is shown below.

NOTE:
If you are assigned to the Technician role or Guest role in DSSAC, you will not see all
of the functions for DSSAC described in this user guide.
Technician and Administrator users can perform functions on the IDS, provided the IDS menu is
not locked. These functions are listed below.
Performing on-demand calibrations, bump tests, and datalog downloads.
Clearing the datalog data stored on an instrument.
Changing language settings on the IDS.
NOTE:
It is possible to lock the menu on an IDS so that no one can access it. See section
6.4 Instrument Docking Station Status and Properties (on page 174) for more information about
locking the IDS menu.
