Using Zones
Zones operate as independent subsets of the DSView software system. When logged into a
zone, most actions only affect your active zone, even if you have access rights to other zones.
However, some actions are restricted or are only available to super users (administrative users
belonging to the top level zone). All actions require appropriate zone access rights. Users must
also be qualified with user and user group access rights. The following sections describe under
what circumstances an action may be performed and how it affects the DSView software
system.
