	on the target Master that are available to the selected group.

	Server on the NetLinx Master.
	• The displayed folders are the directory pathnames present on
	the target Master.

Adding a new User

The information entered within this page can be used by Modero touch panels to verify and establish a secure connection by encrypting the data being transmitted between the Master and the panel. This information must be entered into the System Connection page of the panel’s firmware.

1.Click the User Level link (from within the Security section of the Navigation frame) to open the Manage Users page.

2.Click the New button to be transferred to the Configure User Properties page (FIG. 38).

3.From within the User Security Details section, enter a unique name for the new group. The name must be a valid character string consisting of 4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters. The usernames administrator and NetLinx cannot be used since they already exist.

4.From within the Group drop-down list, choose from a list of pre-configured Groups and associate these rights to the new user.

Any properties possessed by groups (ex: access rights, update rights, directory associations, etc.) are inherited by users assigned to that particular group. Unchecking a security option (which is available within the associated group) does not remove that right from the user. The only way to remove a group’s available security right from a target user is to either NOT associate a group to a user or to alter the security rights of the group being associated.

5.Enable any additional security access rights you want to provide to the user. By default, all of these options are disabled.

6.Enter a user password within both the Password and Password Confirm fields. This password is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) that is used to supplement the username/ID in defining the potential client. The string is case sensitive.

7.From within the User Directory Associations section, place a checkmark next to the directories (on the target Master) to provide an authorized user with access rights to them.

8.Click the Update button to save the changes to the target Master. A “User added successfully” notice is displayed at the top of the page if the page parameters have no errors.
