Chapter 4: Managing Units 103
• Configure managed appliance settings
• Configure local user accounts (valid only on CPS and CCM appliances and supported
DSR switches)
For example, you may allow users to configure settings on a managed appliance, but not allow
them to reboot and disconnect sessions on it. Instead, you may allow a user who has appliance
administrator privileges on the target devices to establish a Video Viewer session, but not allow
that user to perform power control operations. Access rights may also be specified for all units in
the DSView software system or for a specific unit.
By default, supported embedded units have the same access rights as generic units. The DSView
software administrator may change the user/group access and access rights.
