Here you can determine which users should have access to the created/ edited server. Only users that show a ‘+’ marker to the right of the menu box will be granted access to the server.
Note: The Port Direct feature (which allows interconnected switching units to talk to one another) ensures that users without access rights to particular servers cannot move sideways to those servers via other servers.
Note: Access rights for particular user accounts to servers can also be controlled from the ‘Edit User List’ menu
6Select and deselect users as follows:
•Individual user - Highlight a user name, then press 
to apply, or remove, the ‘+’ marker.
•Allow access for all users – Press 
•Allow no user access (except ADMIN) – Press 
6When all settings have been made, press 
to save and exit. Press

Tips when creating/editing server entries
•Avoid creating two names for the same computer port.
•When cascading to other units, do not apply individual names to any ports that are forming a link group to another switch (i.e. ports 1, 2, 3 & 4 when they form link group 41).
