10. Administrator Utility
The B060-032-8 requires each user to be added to a group; therefore, we suggest that you create groups before users. If you do not wish to create groups,
you may add users to the default group account (Group); however, the default group account cannot be used to grant KVM port access to group members.
You must individually grant users access to the KVM ports.
Up to 1023 user accounts can be added to the B060-032-8 with no restrictions on the number of any user type. Each user requires a unique user account to
access the B060-032-8 through a KVM console or to use the Administrator Utility. Super Administrators can add, modify, and delete all user types, while
Administrators can add, modify, and delete only other Administrators and Users. (The additional default Super Administrator account (ADMIN) cannot be
modi
fi
ed or deleted, except for the password.) Super Administrators also can log in to the B060-032-8 Administrator Utility and end the session of any user.
The User Management Web Page is similar to the Group Management Web Page. It shows all users that have been created on the B060-032-8 and their
individual group memberships. It also provides options for creating new users and modifying or deleting existing users.
To add users:
From
the
Administration
menu, choose
Account Management > User
Management
. If no users have been created the
No Local Users Web
Page
appears. If at least one user has been created the
User Management
Web Page
appears (Figure 14).
Click New (When in the No Local Users page) or
Add
(When in the User
Management Page). The
User Information Web Page
appears
(Figure 15).
Type a name in the
Username
fi
eld. Usernames may be up to 15
characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, space, hyphen,
square brackets, parentheses, and period.
Enter a password and then reenter the password to con
fi
rm it. Passwords
may be up to 15 characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9,
space, hyphen, square brackets, parentheses, and period.
Select an account type for the user. The following table shows the
permissions for each account type. Note: Only one Super Administrator
at a time can edit Super Administrator settings. If a Super Administrator
attempts to edit settings (in the Administrator Utility or the OSD) while
another Super Administrator is already editing settings, a prompt will
appear notifying them that Super Administrator settings are currently
being accessed.
