User guide

to a managed appliance that supported virtual media sessions, the target device could then be
accessed by that method.
Each access right is independent of other access rights. For example, you may enable virtual
media session access to a target device that supports it, but not enable KVM (Video Viewer)
session access to that target device. Since a virtual media session is launched from a KVM
session, that user would, in fact, not be able to open a virtual media session with that target
device. The access right only indicates that the user is allowed to perform the operation; it does
not mean that the operation can actually be performed.
How access rights can be assigned
There are several ways you may assign access rights.
• You may assign access control rights from a unit perspective. From this perspective, you
select one or more units, specify the users/user groups for which rights will be assigned,
then allow/deny the permission to perform the action for each user/user group. See Unit
Access Rights on page 165.
• You may also assign access control rights from a unit group perspective. This is similar to
assigning access control rights for a unit, except all units that belong to the selected unit
group will be affected. See Changing the unit group properties on page 245.
• You may also 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. See User Access Rights on
page 273.
• You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective. This is similar to
assigning access control rights for a user, except all users who are members of the selected
user group will be affected. See User Group Access Rights on page 281.
