CHAPTER 5: Configuration

5.4.1. Command Access Levels
In order to restrict access to important command functions, the Outlet Managed
PDU allows you to set the command access level for each user account. The Outlet
Managed PDU offers four access levels: Administrator, SuperUser, User and View
Only. Command privileges for each account are set using the "Access Level"
parameter in the Add User or Modify User menus.
Each access level grants permission to use a different selection of commands;
lower access levels are restricted from invoking conguration commands, while
Administrators are granted access to all commands. The four different access levels
are listed below:
• Administrator: Administrators are allowed to invoke all conguration and
power switching commands, can view all status screens, and can always direct
switching commands to all of the Outlet Managed PDU’s switched outlets .
• SuperUser: SuperUsers are allowed to invoke all power switching commands
and view all status screens. SuperUsers can view conguration menus, but are
not allowed to change conguration parameters. SuperUsers are granted access
to all Outlet Managed PDU outlets.
• User: Users are allowed to invoke power switching commands and view all
status screens, but can only apply commands to outlets that they are specically
granted access to. In addition, Users are not allowed to view conguration
menus or change conguration parameters.
• ViewOnly: Accounts with ViewOnly access, are allowed to view Status
Menus, but are not allowed to invoke switching commands, and cannot view
conguration menus or change parameters. ViewOnly accounts can display the
Plug Status screen, but can only view the status of plugs that are allowed by the
account.
Section 17.2 summarizes command access for all four access levels.
