User guide

• Establish reserved virtual media sessions to target devices (since virtual media sessions are
launched from a Video Viewer session, if you select this option, you should also select
Establish Viewer Sessions)
• Configure unit settings - see Target Device Settings on page 171
• View data logging - this access right can be set only for target devices connected to
appliances that support data logging; see Data Logging on page 209
For certain managed appliances, you may specify whether a user or members of a user group are
allowed to:
• View the appliance in Units View windows (this right is enabled automatically if any
other access right for the managed appliance is enabled)
• Reboot appliance and disconnect sessions - see Active Sessions on page 198
• Flash upgrade appliance - see Upgrading firmware on page 353
• Configure unit settings - see Managed Appliance Settings on page 166
• Configure appliance local user accounts - see Local Account Settings on page 177 (this
option will not appear for managed appliances that do not support local user accounts)
• View data logging - this access right can be set only for appliances that support data
logging; see Data Logging on page 209
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.
About target device access rights
When you assign access rights to a target device, any available session types may be selected,
even if the target device does not support them. For example, you may enable Video Viewer
and virtual media sessions to a target device that is attached to a serial console appliance,
which does not support virtual media. The target device access rights are not based on the valid
type of connection to that target device - the ability to establish a particular session type exists
only when the target device (through its managed appliance) supports it. Using the above
example, if the target device that was attached to the serial console appliance was later moved
to a managed appliance that supported virtual media sessions, the target device could then be
accessed by that method.
