Managing Local Accounts

The DSR web server provides local and login security through Administrator-defined user accounts. By selecting Local Accounts on the side menu bar, Administrators may add and delete users, define user preemption and access levels and change passwords.

User access levels

Accounts have two access levels: user and appliance Administrator. Most switch management tasks can only be performed by persons with Administrator level access.

Preemption levels

The preemption level of users determine whether they may disconnect another user’s serial or video (KVM) session with a target device.

DSR web server Administrators may specify the preemption level for user accounts when an account is created. The preemption level may be changed later.

Preemption levels range from 1-4, with 4 being the highest level. For example, a user with a preemption level of 4 may preempt other level 4 users, as well as those with a level 1, 2 or 3 setting.

To change the default premption level: (Administrator only)

1.Click Appliance - Appliance Settings - Ports - OSCAR.

2.Use the drop-down menu to select the new level and click the Save button.
