Mitel NuPoint Messenger Technical Documentation - Release 7.0
5 Access only to inquiry menus (read-only menus such as Reports,
Statistics, and Dump)
6 Access only to network and network-related menus
When FPSA is activated, you can perform menu-based procedures described in this manual

only

if you have the appropriate permission category or categories.
FPSA limits access to menus based on a permission category or categories assigned to each
user ID. If you attempt to reach an unauthorized menu, the server responds “Permission denied.”
Each server menu also has one or more permission categories associated with it.
When you assign permission categories to each user, make sure that the combination is sensible.
For example, category 1 gives access to the entire server, so there is no need to assign any other
permission categories in addition. Categories 3 and 6 together give permission for all system
configuration menus.
Login Incorrect or Permission Denied
If your user ID is invalid or you enter it incorrectly, or if you enter your password incorrectly, the
server displays “login incorrect” and the login sequence halts. If you have exceeded the allowed
number of login attempts, or if you try to reach a menu outside your permission category or
categories, the server does not let you continue.
When the number of login attempts is exceeded, the server locks the user ID of the person
attempting to log in. The system superuser must unlock the user ID through the FPSA menu
before a locked-out user can log in. (If access to a menu is allowed, the system superuser can
modify permission categories of the person denied access, also through the FPSA Menu.)
If the system superuser encounters the “login incorrect” message, he or she should follow the
password bypass procedure described in the Task List in Volume 2 of this manual.
Users can receive “permission denied” messages when choosing a menu option that they are not
permitted to access. Permission categories must be changed for users to access menu items that
generate this message.
System Superuser
The system superuser is the only person with unlimited access to all server resources and all
menus. This individual is the only one who can perform all the activities described in this manual,
including these FPSA activities:
• Add a user to the server
• Delete a user from the server
• Reset a user’s password
• Change permission categories
• Configure password parameters
• Configure and manage the Audit Trail (see below)
The user ID
