Basic Configuration
5.4.2. Granting Serial Port Access
Each account can be granted access to a different selection of ports. Note also, that
several accounts can be allowed access to the same port. When accounts are created,
the Port Access parameter in the Add User or Modify User menu can be used to grant or
deny access to each serial port by that account.
In addition, each command access level is also used to restricts the serial ports that the
account will be allowed to access:
•
Administrator:
Accounts with Administrator access are always allowed to control
all Serial Ports. Port access cannot be disabled for Administrator level accounts.
•
SuperUser:
SuperUser accounts allow access to all Serial Ports. Port access
cannot be disabled for SuperUser level accounts.
•
User:
Accounts with User level access are only allowed to create connections
with the Serial Ports that have been specifically permitted via the "Port Access"
parameter in the Add User and Modify User menus.
•
ViewOnly:
Accounts with ViewOnly access are not allowed to create connections
with Serial Ports. ViewOnly accounts can display the status of Serial Ports, but are
limited to the ports specified by the account.
5.4.3. Granting Plug Access
Each account can be granted access to a different selection of switched power outlets
(plugs) and plug groups. When accounts are created, the Plug Access parameter and
the Plug Group Access parameter in the Add User menu or Modify User menu can be
used to grant or deny access to each plug or plug group by that account.
In addition, each command access level also restricts the plugs and plug groups that
the account will be allowed to access:
•
Administrator:
Accounts with Administrator access are always allowed to control
all plugs and plug groups. Plug access cannot be disabled for Administrator level
accounts.
•
SuperUser:
SuperUser accounts allow access to all plugs and plug groups by
default. Plug access cannot be disabled for SuperUser level accounts.
•
User:
Accounts with User level access are only allowed to issue switching and
reboot commands to the plugs and plug groups that have been specifically
permitted via the "Plug Access" parameter in the Add User and Modify User menus.
•
ViewOnly:
Accounts with ViewOnly access are not allowed to issue switching
and reboot commands to outlets or plug groups. ViewOnly accounts can display
the status of plugs and plug groups, but are limited to the plugs and plug groups
specified by the account.
