CHAPTER 5: Configuration

•Default User Access: When enabled, this parameter allows TACACS users to access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode without first defining a TACACS user account on the Outlet Managed PDU. When new TACACS users access the Outlet Managed PDU command mode, they will inherit the default Access Level, Port Access, Plug Access, Plug Group Access, Service Access and Current/Power Metering parameters that are defined via the items listed below: (Default = On.)

Access Level: Determines the default Access Level setting for new TACACS users. This option can set the default access level for new TACACS users to "Administrator", "SuperUser", "User" or "ViewOnly." For more information on Command Access Levels, please refer to Section 5.4.1 and Section 17.2. (Default = User.)

Port Access: Determines the default Port Access setting for new TACACS users. The Port Access setting determines whether or not the account will be allowed to connect to the serial Setup Port. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = Always Enabled, User = Disabled.)

Note:

ViewOnly level accounts cannot be granted access to the

Setup Port.

Plug Access: Determines the default Plug Access setting for new TACACS users. (Defaults; Administrator and SuperUser = All Plugs On,

User = All Plugs Off, ViewOnly = All Plugs Off.)

Notes:

•Administrator and SuperUser level accounts always have access to all plugs.

•User level accounts will only have access to the plugs that are defined via the "Plug Access" parameter.

•ViewOnly accounts are not allowed to invoke switching and reboot commands.
