The username is mandatory and must be unique within the ServSwitch iPATH installation.

Note: If a user is synced with Active Directory, it is not possible to change the Username, First/Last Name, Password, or User Group membership. These items must be edited on the Active Directory server and the changes will filter through to ServSwitch iPATH the next time a sync takes place with Active Directory.

4.8.3.2 First Name, Last Name and Email

The First Name, Last Names and Email address entries are optional but are advisable within an installation of any size or one that will be administered by more than one person.

4.8.3.3 Password

The password is required for logging into a channel and/or for logging into the ServSwitch iPATH admin system, if the user is to be granted admin privileges.

4.8.3.4 Admin?

When set to Yes, the user is granted privileges to login to the ServSwitch iPATH admin system and make changes.

4.8.3.5 Account Suspended?

Allows the admin user to temporarily prevent the user from logging in without the need to delete the whole account.

4.8.3.6 Allow Exclusive Mode?

Defines whether the user is able to connect to channels exclusively (preventing other users from sharing the connection). When this is set to “Inherit from User Groups/Global Setting,” if ANY user-group that a user is a member of is granted permission to connect exclusively, then the user will have permission to connect exclusively. Note: It is an additional requirement that the channel being accessed by the user, must also permit exclusive access.

4.8.3.7 Group Membership

This section defines the user groups to which the user will be a member. Any permissions applied to the user group are inherited by all users in the user group. User groups to which the user is not currently a member are shown in the left list and those to which the user is a member are shown within the right list. See "4.8.4.4.1 Including and Excluding a User..." on the next page for details about including and excluding group membership.

4.8.3.8 Permissions

This section defines to which channels and/or channel groups the user should have access. Note: Only the channels for which a user is given permission to access will appear within their channel list.

See Including and excluding a user... on the next page for details about including and excluding channels and/or channel groups.

4.8.3.9 Receiver and Receiver Group Permissions

Receiver and Receiver Group Permissions are hidden by default because all users are initially granted permission to use all receivers. If desired, permission to use a receiver and/or receiver group may be withdrawn from a user by revealing this section.
