CMG-DCM

Administrators

Users of the DCM can be one of two kinds.

•Unprivileged users can log in or view the Web interface of the DCM, including its current configuration, but cannot change any of the options, nor configure any instruments attached to the DCM

•Administrators may change settings or configure attached digitizers as they please.

You may want to give different users separate accounts for tracking or other purposes, or to allow users to set their own preferences when logging in. Alternatively, you may prefer to restrict access only to those with administrative requirements, by removing any unprivileged user accounts. If you want to access the DCM by any means, locally or remotely, you must have a username and password on the list given here.

If this is the first time you have logged in to the DCM, there will be a single user, root, whose password is factory-set. To add a new user, fill in their username and password in the top two boxes of the page. Repeat the password in the next box, to ensure it is entered correctly (since it will not be visible on screen), and click on Add user. A username may not contain spaces or colons.

You should be shown an acknowledgement screen, indicating that the new user account has been created. The user will be able to log in with that username and password by any of the methods currently available to the device, and from any location. More complex access controls cannot be performed through the Web administration system, although you can of course use the features of the DCM's underlying Linux operating system to implement them if required.
