Permissions

Check the box of each permission that you want the group to have. A description of each of the permissions is listed

 

below:

Windows Client allows a group to access the KVM via AP WIndows Client software. This or the AP Java Client software is needed in the event the Super Administrator disables access to the KVM switch via web browser.

Java Client allows a group to access the KVM via both browser and non-browser versions of the Java Client software. If a group does not have access to Java, it will not be able to connect via browser.

View Only limits a group to only being able to view the display of connected devices they are given access to. They cannot control port access, nor can they input any keyboard or mouse signals to the devices they view.

Force to Grayscale forces the group’s view of the remote display to be in grayscale. This can speed up keyboard and mouse response time in low bandwidth situations.
