User Management
Super Administrators and Administrators can add, modify, and delete users.
Super Administrators can manage all user account types, while Administrators
can manage other Administrators and Users. Up to 1024 unique user accounts
can be created on the matrix KVM switch with no restriction on the number of
any particular user type. In order for users to access the matrix KVM switch
through the local console OSD or through the KM0832 Administrator Utility
each user must have a user account. For each user account you must assign a
username, password, user type, and group membership. Each user requires a
valid username and password or the user will not be allowed to access the
matrix KVM switch either through the KM0832 Administrator Utility or
through the local console OSD.
When creating user accounts you must add each user to a group. Therefore, we
suggest that you create groups before users. If you do not wish to create groups
you may add users to the default group account. However, the default group
account cannot be used to grant port access to group members. In this case, you
must individually add users to the port(s).
The User Management screen is similar to the Group Management screen. It
shows all users that have been created on the matrix KVM switch and their
individual group memberships. It also provides options for creating new users
and modifying or deleting existing users.
