NetLinx Security - Web Server
5. Enable any additional security access rights you want to provide to the user. By default, all of
these options are disabled.
6. Enter a user password within both the Password and Password Confirm fields. This password
is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) that is used to supplement the
username/ID in defining the potential client. The string is case sensitive.
7. From within the User Directory Associations section, place a checkmark next to the directories
(on the target Master) to provide an authorized user with access rights to them.
8. Click the Update button to save your changes to the target Master. If there are no errors within
any of the page parameters, a “User added successfully” is displayed at the top of the page.
9. Click the Back button to return to the Manage User page.
Modifying the properties of an existing User
1. Click the User Level link (from within the Security section of the Navigation frame) to open
the Manage Users page.
2. Click the Select button next to the selected User’s name to open the Configure User Properties
page for the particular user (FIG. 54).
Any properties possessed by groups (ex: access rights, update rights, directory
associations, etc.) are inherited by users assigned to that particular group.
Unchecking a security option (which is available within the associated group) does
not remove that right from the user. The only way to remove a group’s available
security right from a target user is to either NOT associate a group to a user or to alter
the security rights of the group being associated.
The fields displayed when modifying users are the same as those available when
adding a new user, except for the User Name field which is pre-populated.
