How to Use the Selection List and Manage User Access Rights with It

The selection list is the main element in the SEH UTN Manager and shows all embedded UTN servers. USB devices
can only be used if the UTN server to which they are connected is on the list ( 20). By controlling the selection
list you consequently control the user's access to UTN servers and the connected USB devices.
By default, all client users use the global selection list in the SEH UTN Manager. However, you can set a user selec-
tion list for the client users. This list can be compiled by the users themselves. Alternatively, you as client admin-
istrator restrict user rights and provide a list with which only the UTN servers you define can be used.

macOS; the path for the current user can be determined as
follows from the command line: echo $HOME
Example macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina):
echo $HOME yields /Usershome/User name
+
.config/SEH Computertechnik GmbH/SEH UTN
Manager.ini
Complete path to the ini file:
/Usershome/User name/.config/SEH Computer-
technik GmbH/SEH UTN Manager.ini)
• The selection list can be edited by administrators
or by users with write access to the ini-file.
Users with read-only access to the ini-file cannot
edit the selection list and have limited access to
SEH UTN Managers functions.
