Access Rights

The console server plug-in is integrated with the DSView 3 software licensing feature to control access privileges. In addition to assigning access rights to managed devices, the DSView 3 server uses the console server plug-in to control access to specific functionality of the console server. An administrator may control user or group access to the following tasks:

View unit information
Reboot appliance and disconnect sessions
Flash upgrade the console server
Configure unit settings
Establish viewer sessions
Control target device power
View data logging

To configure access rights:

1. In a Units View window containing an ACS 5000 console server, click Access Rights in the side navigation bar.
2. Select a value from the User and User Groups window. The Access Right matrix displays the default values for each functionality.

If the desired user or user group is not shown, click Edit List. Add a user or user group from the Available dialog box to the List to Update window, then click OK.

3. Enable or disable an Access Right. The following options are available:
Allow - The access right is allowed for the user/group.
Deny - The access right is denied for the user/group.
Inherit - The access right is propagated from the unit to which the selected user/group belongs. When Inherit is selected, the Allow and Deny checkboxes are grayed out.

If none of the checkboxes are checked, the access right is neither allowed nor denied.
