Description

Additional information about the user that you may wish to include.

Role

Three categories: Super Administrator, Administrator and User. No limit on the 
number of accounts created in each category.
• The Super Administrator is responsible for the overall installation configuration 

and maintenance; user management; and device and port assignments. The 
Super Administrator's permissions are system assigned and cannot be altered.

• The default permissions for Administrators include everything except Force to 

Grayscale, but the permissions can be altered for each Administrator by 
checking or unchecking any of the permissions checkboxes.

• The default permissions for Users include the Win, Java, and SSH clients. 

Permissions can be altered for each User by checking or unchecking any of the 
permissions checkboxes.
Note: Users who have User Management privileges cannot access or configure 
Groups.

Permissions 
Note: For ordinary 
users, in addition to 
enabling Device 
Management, Port 
Configuration, and 
Maintenance 
permissions, the user 
must also be given 
those rights for each 
device and port that he 
will be allowed to 
manage. See“Device 
Assignment” on 
page 64 for details.

• Enabling Device Management allows a user to configure and control the settings 

for overall KVM switch operations (see “Device Management” on page 67).

• Enabling Port Configuration allows a user to configure and control the settings 

for individual ports (see “Port Configuration” on page 55).

• Enabling User Management allows a user to create, modify, and delete user and 

group accounts.

• Enabling Maintenance allows a user to perform all the Maintenance operations 

available under the Maintenance tab (see “Maintenance” on page 92).

• Enabling System Log allows a user to access the system log (see “Log” on 

page 90).

• Enabling View Only limits users to only viewing the display of connected 

devices. 

• Enabling Windows Client allows a user to download the Windows Client AP 

software, and access the KVM switch with it, in addition to (or instead of) the 
browser access method.

• Enabling Java Client allows a user to download the Java Client AP software, and 

access the KVM switch with it, in addition to (or instead of) the browser access 
method.

• Enabling SSH Client allows a user to access the switch from an SSH session.
• Enabling Telnet Client allows a user to access the switch from a Telnet session.
• Force to Grayscale forces the user's remote display view to be in grayscale. This 

can speed up I/O transfer in low bandwidth situations.
