10-8 Firmware User Guide

User menu differences

Menus reflect the security access level of the user. Consequently, configuration menus will display differing options based upon the parameters a particular user is allowed to change. Some differences include:

■Limited users (non-Superusers) do not have access to Easy Setup.

■All users have access to System Configuration, Quick Menus, and Quick View, but limited users have only limited access to configuration elements in their descendant menus.

■Configuration screen elements to which configuration access is forbidden are usually hidden.

■The Quick Menus screen reflects the security access level of the user. Menus to which configuration access is forbidden are hidden.
