system, users can be assigned access to individual Targets or sets of Targets.

3.3 Creating Targets

An Administrator creates Targets corresponding to the physical servers connected

to the IP devices, explained in section 7, and also to Targets corresponding to e.g.

printers, firewalls, PDUs and IDSs etc accessed via Access Services™ - see page

15. In the example below, four Targets are created and given identifying names.

They can be named by location, server type or operating system or any other

unique feature associated with that particular server.
