Restricting Access to 3WXM 77

„ Switch to an existing network plan. You can open the sample plan

	included with 3WXM or a plan that you or another 3WXM user has
	saved on the 3WXM Services host.
	3WXM comes with a sample plan called 3ComStarterExample. This
	plan contains a two-floor building with two WX1200 switches and
	two AP2750 MAP access points on each switch. Each switch and its
	MAPs provide coverage for a floor. The 3Com equipment is
	configured to provide both clear (unencrypted) and secure (802.1X)
	wireless access.
	To open an existing network plan, select File > Switch Network Plan
	and select the network plan from the list of available network plans.
	3WXM connects to the 3WXM Services host and opens the specified
	network plan on the server. See “Opening a Network Plan” on
	page 84 for more information.
Restricting Access	This section describes how to restrict access to the 3WXM client
to 3WXM	application.
	To restrict access to the 3WXM monitoring service, see “Verifying that the
	3WXM Client is Receiving Service Data” on page 485.

By default, all users who have been successfully authenticated to a system with 3WXM installed on it can run 3WXM. You can restrict the users allowed to access 3WXM on a system and define their access privileges by creating three types of 3WXM user accounts:

„Administrator — This account can monitor the network, configure the network, and administer 3WXM. When creating an administrator account, you must assign an administrator password, which you are required to provide the next time you configure access privileges.

„Provision — This account can configure and monitor the network.

„Monitor — This account can only monitor the network. When users with a monitor account open a network plan, they can see configuration changes that have been deployed to the network. Any configuration changes that have not been deployed are not visible.

The 3WXM user accounts you create must also exist in the Windows domain or local operating system. Otherwise, those users cannot start 3WXM.
