Security Features
Feature Description
System Level: Provides an authorized user with the ability to alter the current
security options of the system assigned to the target Master.
Group Level: Provides an authorized user with the ability to assign and alter
group properties such as creating, modifying, or deleting a
group’s rights, and also allows for the definition of the files/
directories accessible by a particular group.
• Any properties possessed by a group (access rights/directory
associations, etc.) are inherited by all members of that group.
User Level: Provides an authorized user with the ability to assign and alter
user properties such as creating, modifying, or deleting a users’
communication rights, and defining the files/directories
accessible by a particular user.
It is recommended that the Master Security option be enabled after the groups,
users, and passwords have been setup. If not, when the user accesses the
Master from within another session, the default administrator username and
password must be used for access.
