Administration of the OnSite is separate from access to and power management of the connected devices.Authorized users and administrators can access devices that are connected to the OnSite’s ports and manage power, but only administrators can configure access and security on the OnSite. See the following bulleted items for more details.
• Only an OnSite administrator can configure access to the OnSite and to the connected devices.
• Regular users can access devices if they are authorized for the ports to which the devices are connected.
• Regular users can manage power outlets on optionally connected AlterPath PM IPDUs if authorized.The following table lists the security features that administrators can configure to control access to connected devices and to enforce the site’s security policies. The table also lists where the features are documented in more detail.
