Restricting Access To Information - Codan 2110 Reference Manual

Using lists

Restricting access to information

Access to information in the transceiver can be restricted in two ways. You can lock lists,
entries and settings to prevent them from being edited, and you can hide them to prevent
them from being displayed.
For example, if you do not want users to change the transmit frequencies of channels in
the transceiver, you can lock the settings in which these frequencies are stored. If you do
not want users to see these frequencies you can hide the settings.
User, admin and factory level
Lists, entries and settings can be locked and hidden at three levels—user, admin and
factory level—and they can only be unlocked and displayed by someone logged into the
same or a higher level.
User level is the lowest and most general level. When you switch on the transceiver you
are automatically logged into this level. Items locked and hidden at this level can be
unlocked and displayed by others logged into this level or admin level. The user should
be able to access all necessary information for the day-to-day operation of the transceiver
at this level. By default, the user has access to the Channel and Address Lists.
Admin level is for use by system administrators. Items locked and hidden at this level
can only be unlocked and displayed by others logged into this level. This prevents users
from being able to change and display these items. For details on the admin level see
Table 14 on page 109
hidden at admin level however, this can be changed by the administrator to meet the
user's requirements. If the administrator recognises that there are some entries in the
Control List to which the user requires access, they can either unlock and show the entry
at user level, or set up a hot key to access the entry (see
assigning it to a hot
Factory level is the highest level and is used by Codan to lock certain configuration
settings in the Control List. Items locked at this level can be displayed by users and
administrators but cannot be unlocked. You cannot log into factory level.
Items can be locked at one level and hidden at another. For example, if you have access
to admin level and do not want users to display the factory-locked configuration settings
in the Control List, you could hide these settings at admin level.
