7. Administration
At this point you can do any of the following:
• Assign port access rights for a user by selecting the Devices tab.
• Add more users and/or create groups and finish configuring the
user account later.
Modifying User Accounts
To modify a user account, do the following:
1. Select the desired user's name from the User List or the Main
Panel and click Modify.
2. The same as when creating an account, make any necessary
changes to the user account and click Save.
Deleting User Accounts
To delete a user account, do the following:
1. Select the desired user's name from the Main Panel and click
Delete.
2. A confirmation dialog box will appear asking if you are sure you
want to delete the selected user account. Click OK.
Device Assignment
When a user logs onto the KVM switch, the ports that they are
allowed to access are displayed in the port list. Ports that they are
not allowed to access are not displayed. Port access rights are
assigned on a port-by-port basis in the user Device tab. To access
the Device tab, you must pull up the user information page, and then
click on the Device tab at the top-right of the page.
The Device tab page includes a list of the master KVM switch and its
ports on the left, and three permission columns to the right of the
list.
• Access – Determines if the account can access the port, and if so,
whether they have View Only or Full access.
• Config – If the box is checked next to a port, the account is given
access to edit the Port Configuration settings. (See Port
Configuration section under OSD Operation for details.)
Note: For Configuration access to take effect, the account must
also have been given Port Configuration permission. (See the
Adding User Accounts section under User Management for details.)
To assign device permissions, do the following:
1. Select the user name from the user list, or select the user name in the main panel. Click the Modify button.
2. In the user notebook page that appears, click on the Device tab.
3. Click on the Access or Config checkbox next to the desired port to toggle through the permission options. For the Access column, you
can choose between full access, view only access or no access. For the Config column, you can choose between enabled or disabled.
The permission types are exactly the same as those described in the Access sub-section. (See Access section for details.)
4. When you have finished assigning permissions, click the Save button.
Note: You can simultaneously assign port access to multiple ports using the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys. To highlight a group of consecutive
ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the [Shift] key, and then highlight the last port that you wish to highlight. All ports
from the first one you highlighted to the last will be highlighted. You can then click on any of the permission checkboxes to change that
permission for all of the highlighted ports. To highlight multiple non-consecutive ports, start by highlighting the first port, hold down the
[Ctrl] key, and then highlight each additional port one by one while continuing to hold down the [Ctrl] key. When all of the desired ports
are highlighted, click on any checkbox to change that permission for all of the highlighted ports.
