Setup Security Level Provides a method to allow end-users limited access to change specified setup options, without
having to know the Setup Password.
This feature allows the administrator the flexibility to protect changes to essential setup options,
while allowing the user to view system settings and configure nonessential options. The
administrator specifies access rights to individual setup options on a case-by-case basis via the
Setup Security Level menu. By default, all setup options are assigned Setup Password, indicating
the user must enter the correct Setup Password during POST to make changes to any of the
options. The administrator may set individual items to None, indicating the user can make
changes to the specified options when setup has been accessed with invalid passwords. The
choice, None, is replaced by Power-On Password if a Power-On Password is enabled.
NOTE:
