2. Is the user a member of a group with specific KVM port permissions for the requested port?
• If yes, the specified permissions apply: no access, read-only, read-write, or read/write/power management.
• If a user is in more than one group with specific KVM port permission, the permissions are ANDed, and the most restrictive permission is used.
• If the user is not in a group or is in a group with no specific KVM port permissions, go to Decision 3.
• If user jim who is trying to access port 4 is a member of three groups, and the first group’s permission is “rwp,” the second group’s permission is “rw” and the third group’s permission is “ro,” the result of ANDing all three permissions is “ro,” and jim is given read-only access.
• If user joan is trying to access port 4, and she is in a group called linux_ca3 that has port 4 in a list of ports with no permission, then joan is denied access.
• If jerry and jill are trying to access port 4, and they are in a group called linux_ca4 that has no specific port permissions defined, then their access requests are passed to Decision 3.
• If joe, jennifer, jordan, jolanda, and jezebel are trying to access port 4, and they are not in any group, then their access requests are passed to Decision 3.
