Chapter 6. Port Access

Access

Administrators use the Access page to set user and group access and configuration rights for switches and ports.

Note: The Access page only appears for those users with User Management permissions. It isn’t available for other users.

Device Level Browser GUI Interface

If a switch is chosen in the Sidebar, the Main panel looks similar to the one shown below:

The main panel consists of two columns: Name, and Config:

ŠName lists all the users and groups that have been created.

ŠConfig indicates the users who have Configuration privileges. A check mark ( ) indicates that the user has permission to make changes to the switch configuration settings (see Chapter 8, Device Management); an X means that the user is denied permission to make configuration changes. Click the icon to toggle permission for Administrators and Users (Super Administrators always have configuration privileges).

ŠThe Copy and Paste buttons at the bottom of the main panel provide a shortcut method of assigning the permissions settings of one port to any of the other ports. To do so:

1.Select the port whose permissions you want the other port(s) to follow.

2.Click Copy.

3.Select the port you want to receive the permissions.

4.Click Paste.

ŠWhen you have finished making your configuration changes, click Save.
