User's Manual
For example, you may allow users to configure settings on a managed appliance, but not allow
them to reboot and disconnect sessions on it. Access rights may also be specified for all units in
the Rack Power Manager software system or for a specific unit.
By default, supported embedded units have the same access rights as generic units.
How access rights can be assigned
There are several ways you may assign access rights.
• You may assign access control rights from a unit perspective. From this perspective, you
select one or more units, specify the users/user groups for which rights will be assigned,
then allow/deny the permission to perform the action for each user/user group. See Unit
Access Rights on page 144.
• You may also assign access control rights from a unit group perspective. This is similar to
assigning access control rights for a unit, except all units that belong to the selected unit
group will be affected. See Changing the unit group properties on page 189.
• You may also assign access control rights from a user perspective. You select a user
account, specify the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to
perform the action (none, allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. See User Access Rights on
page 220.
• You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective. This is similar to
assigning access control rights for a user, except all users who are members of the selected
user group will be affected. See User Group Access Rights on page 229.
Unit Access Rights
Rack Power Manager software administrators may assign unit access rights.
To add or remove access rights from a Units View window:

at the top of the list, and then click Rights.
2. The Unit Access Rights window will open. To add or remove a user or user group from the
Access Rights Assignment list, click Edit List. The Unit Access Rights User Selection
window will open.
