Any new regular user account automatically inherits the KVM port access permissions configured for the Generic User.For more background about the hierarchy of KVM port permissions, see Understanding KVM Port Permissions and KVM Port Permissions Hierarchy.
The choices in the “Group” menu are “Regular User” [Default] or “Admin.” Note: To configure a user to be able to perform all OnSite administration functions, select the “Admin” group.
