User Access Rights
Access rights indicate whether a user is allowed to perform certain actions on a unit in the DSView
3 software system. See About Access Rights on page 129 for detailed information and a list of
actions that can be enabled/disabled for target devices and managed appliances.
You may assign access control rights from a user perspective. You select a user account, specify
the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to perform the action (none,
allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. That procedure is described in this section.
There are other ways to assign access rights:
• From a user group perspective - see User Group Access Rights on page 220
• From a unit perspective - see Unit Access Rights on page 131
• From a unit group perspective - see Changing the name, members or access rights of a unit
group on page 197
To display a user’s access rights:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click on a username. The User Name window will open.
3. Click Effective Rights in the side navigation bar and then click All Units, Target Devices or
Appliances. The Target Device Effective Rights or Appliance Effective Rights window will
open. Columns indicate the available actions for the unit.
