If a user or group name is selected from the list of users and groups and the “Set KVM Permissions” button is clicked on the Configuration>Security>Users & Groups screen, a “KVM Access List” screen appears like the one in the following figure.When the “Default Access List” checkbox is checked, the selected user or group has the same permissions that are assigned to the Generic User.If the checkbox is unchecked, KVM port access permissions can be configured for a user or group to be different from the Generic User by doing the following:If the “Default Access List” checkbox on the KVM Access List dialog box is deselected, the “Default Permission” pull-down menu becomes active with the options: “No access,” “Read only,” “Read/Write,” “Full access,” as shown in the following figure.For an example of how the “Default Permissions” work, if the Generic User’s default permission is “No access” and you remove the check from the checkbox next to “Default Access List” for a user named jamesi, then jamesi is no longer restricted by the permissions of the Generic User. If you then assign to jamesi a default permission of “Full access,” jamesi can then read write and do power management while connected to any KVM port.If the “Default Access List” option is deselected, the “master” device is selected from the Device/Permissions list and the “Set permissions for the device” button is checked, a dialog box appears like the one shown in following figure.“Set KVM Permissions” Ports Permissions Dialog BoxSeparate lists of ports can be specified with any of the following permissions for any user or group:The permissions display next to the Device name in the Permissions column, as shown in the following figure.The following figure illustrates how the settings in the previous figure affect access to ports. When an individual or member of a group with the access permissions shown in the previous screen logs into the Web Manager, the list of KVM ports displayed does not include port 1 because it was configured with no access (shown as “none”).To continue the example, because of the KVM permission settings, jamesi can connect to KVM port 2 with Read Only access, he can connect to ports 3 with Read Write access, and he can connect to port 4 with Read/Write/Power Management access.
