MATRIX SERVSWITCH™

Profile

Use this field to assign users to “user profiles,” which are definitions of how users can access the Matrix ServSwitch system. Profiles are configured on the Configure Profile page (see Section 4.6).

The factory-default profile for each user is the profile appearing in the same- numbered row in the “Configure Profile” page (see Section 4.6); that is, the first user is assigned the profile in the first row in the “Configure Profile” page (“Profil 1” initially), the second user is assigned the profile in the second row in the “Configure Profile” page (“Profil 2” initially), and so on. If you go into the “Configure Profile” page and change the name of any profile assigned to a user— whether it’s one of the defaults that’s still in effect, or a different profile you’ve manually assigned that’s listed in some other row—the profile name appearing in this Profile field will be automatically updated, but only after you save the configuration and exit and re-enter the configuration menu.

4.6 Configuring User Profiles

You can use the “Configure Profile” page to assign security procedures, access levels, and CPU-connection type to users.
