installation. There are two types of accounts that can be created: Administrator and
User. Up to 200 total accounts can be created, with any combination of user types.
The following section describes the differences between these account types, and
details how to add, edit, delete and block accounts.
Administrator – Administrators are the only type of user that can access
the Web Configuration Interface, of which they have unrestricted access.
Administrators also have unrestricted access to all ports on the installation,
allowing them to connect to, view and operate connected computers.
User – Users do not have access to the Web Configuration Interface. Users
can both remotely view and operate connected computers, but their access
is limited to the ports assigned to them by an administrator in the Web
Configuration Interface. Users have access to all of the settings in the remote
toolbar except for the Advanced section of the Manual Mouse Settings. (See
Remote Toolbar section for details.)
Adding an account:
1. Click the Add button to activate Add User screen.
2. Enter in a username and password for the new account, entering the password
a second time for confirmation. Under Standard Security Policy, the
password must be 6 characters or more, and must not include the username.
Stricter password specifications can be implemented if an administrator
activates the High Security Policy in the Security Settings section of the Web
Configuration Interface. (See Security section for details on High Security
Policy.) Usernames and passwords can contain unlimited characters, but
must not include the following special characters: & < > " { }
3. Select the desired account type from the Permission drop-down menu.
4. Click the Cancel button at any time to stop the new account from being
added. Click the OK button to add the new account to the account list.
5. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.

Editing an account:
1. Highlight the desired account in the account list and click the Edit button to
activate Edit User screen.
2. Edit the desired account information.
3. Click the Cancel button at any time to stop the changes from being saved.
Click the OK button to apply the changes.
4. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.
Deleting an account:
1. Highlight the desired account in the account list and click the Delete button.
2. A prompt will appear asking if you want to delete the selected user. Click
Yes to delete the account, or No to keep it.
3. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.
Blocking an account:
Instead of deleting an account, which removes it from the KVM entirely, an
administrator can block an account. Blocking an account allows the account
information to remain in the KVM, but blocks that account from accessing
the KVM. The account can then be restored at any time in the future by an
administrator. To block/unblock an account, follow the steps below.
1. Highlight the desired account and click the Edit button.
2. In the Edit User screen, check the Block checkbox, and then click the OK button.
3. Click the Save button at the top of the screen to save your changes.
