Setting Permissions

Important: Selecting the User Management checkbox allows the members of the group to change the permissions of all users, including their own. Carefully consider granting these permissions.

Permission

Description

Device Access While Under CC-SG Management

Allows users and user groups with this permission to directly access the KX III. The KX III is accessed using an IP address when Local Access is enabled for the device in CC-SG. The device can be accessed from the Virtual KVM Client (VKC) and Active KVM Client (AKC).

When a device is accessed directly while it is under CC-SG management, access and connection activity is logged on the KX III. User authentication is performed based on KX III authentication settings.

Note: The Admin user group has this permission by default.

Device Settings

Network settings, date/time settings, port configuration (channel names, power associations), event management (SNMP, Syslog), virtual media file server setups.

Diagnostics

Network interface status, network statistics, ping host, trace route to host, KX III diagnostics.

Maintenance

Backup and restore database, firmware upgrade, factory reset, reboot.

Modem

Permission to use the modem to connect to the KX III device.

PC-Share

Simultaneous access to the same target by multiple users.

If you are using a tiered configuration in which a base KX III device is used to access multiple, additional tiered devices, all devices must share the same PC-Share setting.

Security

SSL certificate, security settings (VM Share, PC-Share), IP ACL.

User Management

User and group management, remote, authentication (LDAP/LDAPS/RADIUS), login settings.

If you are using a tiered configuration in which a base KX III device is used to access multiple other tiered devices, user, user group and remote authentication settings must be consistent across all devices.
