link to the procedure.
OnSite Port Permissions
In the default configuration, no users except “admin” and “root” can access
any ports. The OnSite administrator can configure access for regular users as
desired.
The following table summarizes the default port access permissions and
default authentication types (Auth Type) and provides links to where the port
permissions are described in more detail.
The OnSite administrator must take the actions described under “Where
Documented” to configure any other types of access and authentication than
the defaults defined in the previous table.
Understanding KVM Port Permissions
Generic KVM port permissions (which are configured for the “Generic User”
in the Web Manager and “[Generic Users]” in the OSD) apply to all regular
users and groups, unless the OnSite administrator configures other
permissions for individual users or groups.
