User Management
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, as well as access to virtual media functionality and
configuration settings, is assigned on a port-by-port basis in
the user or group Device tab. To access the Device tab, you
must pull up the user or group 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.
• USB – Determines if the account can access virtual media
mounted to the port, and if so, whether they have Read or
Read/Write 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/group name from the user/group list, or select the user/group name in the main panel and click the Modify
button.
2. In the user/group notebook page that appears, click on the Device tab.
3. Click on the Access, USB or Config checkbox next to the desired port to toggle through the permission options. For the Access
and USB columns, 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.
