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:
|
•
|
Reboot appliance and disconnect sessions |
|
•
|
Flash upgrade the console server |
|
•
|
Configure unit settings |
|
•
|
Establish viewer sessions |
|
•
|
Control target device power |
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.
