Chapter 5. Administration

The Port Access area of the Port Management screen is used to manage port access rights for users and groups. The boxes on the left side of the screen show all users and groups that have been created. The boxes on the right side of the screen govern port access rights. These boxes are discussed in the table below.

In the middle of the screen are five sets of arrows. Each set contains two arrows: one facing leftward (<) and the other facing rightward (>), which correspond to the boxes immediately to the left and right, respectively. Arrows are used to move users and groups from the boxes on the left into the boxes on the right and vice versa.

Box Name

Description

 

 

Available Users

Lists users who have not been assigned access rights for the

 

KVM port.

 

 

Available Groups

Lists groups that have not been assigned access rights for the

 

KVM port.

 

 

No Access Users

Lists users who are restricted from access to the KVM port. If a

 

user listed in this box is a member of a group that has

 

permission to access the KVM port, placing the user in this box

 

restricts the user from accessing the KVM port.

 

 

View Only Users

Lists users who are permitted to view video from the KVM port.

 

 

Full Access Users

Lists users who are permitted both to view video from the KVM

 

port and to control it. If the KVM port cascades a KVM switch,

 

the user will not be able to access KVM ports on that station until

 

granted access rights to the individual KVM ports.

 

 

View Only Groups

Lists groups that are permitted to view video from the KVM port.

 

 

Full Access Groups

Lists groups that are permitted both to view video from the KVM

 

port and to control it. If the KVM port cascades a KVM switch,

 

the group will not be able to access the KVM ports of that station

 

until granted access rights to the individual KVM ports.

 

 

Note: 1. You cannot add more than 32 users and 32 groups to a port. If you need to add more than 32 users to a port, first add the users to groups and then add those groups to the port.

2.If a user is granted both user and group access rights to the same port, the user access rights will be applied and not those of the group.
