Chapter 6. Port Access

Access

Administrators use the Access page to set user and group access and configuration rights for switches and ports. The page is organized into three main areas: a large Main panel; a Status panel at the lower left, and a Properties panel at the lower right.

Note: The Access tab only appears in Administrator sessions. It isn’t available for ordinary users.

Device Level

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

The main panel consists of three columns: Name, Config, and View Log:

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).
