username in a User Accounts window and changing its user group membership. See Changing
User Group Members on page 281.
User Group Access Rights
Access rights indicate whether a user is allowed to perform certain actions on a unit in the
DSView software system. See About Access Rights on page 163 for detailed information and a
list of actions that are available for target devices and managed appliances.
You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective only by selecting Users -
Access Rights.
To display user group access rights:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. Built-In will automatically be selected in the side
navigation bar and the User Groups - Built-in window will open. To display the User
Groups - User Defined window, click User-Defined in the side navigation bar.
3. Click on a user group name. The User Group Properties window will open.
4. Click Effective Rights in the side navigation bar and then click All Units, Target Devices
or Appliances. The Target Devices Effective Rights window or Appliance Effective Rights
window will open. Columns indicate the available actions for the unit.
• Black check mark - the user has been granted access for this right
• Gray check mark - a group to which the user belongs has been granted access for this
right
• Black X - the user has been denied access for this right
• Gray X - a group to which the user belongs has been denied access for this right
• No check mark - no access has been granted or denied for this right
The access rights display may contain information that appears invalid. For example,
virtual media access can be enabled to a target device that does not support it.
Similarly, virtual media access could be enabled but KVM (Video Viewer) access may
be disabled. See About target device access rights on page 164 for an explanation.
5. Click Close when you are finished. The User Accounts - All window will open.
