F4 is accessible only by Super Administrators and Administrators. It allows configuration and control of the overall operation of the OSD. Note: When creating user accounts, each user must be added to a group. It is recommended that groups be created before user accounts. If you do not wish to create groups you may add users to the default group account; however, the default group account cannot be used to grant port access to group members. In this case, you must individually add users to the KVM port(s).
