Users can be authorized to access specified console server serial ports and specified network-attached
hosts. These users can also be given full Administrator status (with full configuration and management
and access privileges).
To simplify user set up, they can be configured as members of Groups. There are six Groups set up by
default (admin and user).
admin Provides users with unlimited configuration and management privileges
pptpd Group to allow access to the PPTP VPN server. Users in this group will have
their password stored in clear text.
dialin Group to allow dialin access via modems. Users in this group will have their
password stored in clear text.
ftp Group to allow ftp access and file access to storage devices
pmshell Group to set default shell to pmshell
users Provides users with basic management privileges
Note: 1. Members of the admin group have full Administrator privileges. The admin user
(Administrator) can access the console server using any of the services that are enabled in
System: Services. For example, if only HTTPS has been enabled, then the Administrator can
only access the console server using HTTPS. Once logged in, they can reconfigure the
console server settings (for example, to enabled HTTP/Telnet for future access). They can
also access any of the connected Hosts or serial port devices using any of the services that
have been enabled for these connections. The Administrator can reconfigure the access
services for any Host or serial port. Only trusted users should have Administrator access.
2. Membership of the user group provides the user with limited access to the console server
and connected Hosts and serial devices. These Users can access only the Management
section of the Management Console menu and they have no command line access to the
console server. They also can only access those Hosts and serial devices that have been
checked for them, using services that have been enabled
