User Rights and Security
In organizations with high security requirements
Your Multi SA can use Admin to provide operator accounts that:
1. limit the sites that a user can access. By default, access to all sites is granted. See Right
to Access a Site on p. 182. You can set accounts to access only some sites.
2. limit the amount of time for use of a site. See
Right to Access a Site, on p. 182.
LocalView
When using LocalView, there is no time limit to operating a unit.
To Deny Access
Denying access to sites is a security measure that is used against an operator who must be
stopped from using Multi-Media units as soon as possible. The account data is preserved. For less
severe cases, removing an account may be sufficient; see Removing a User's Account, p. 160.
Denying access to all Multi-Media units: Admin
1. Using Admin, click the Users tab.
2. Double-click the name of the account in the User Name column.
3. Click the box next to Deny this account access to sites [...] so that it shows a checkmark.
4. Click Save and Close.
5. Update security at each site listed in the “User can access selected sites” list. The
procedure to update security is in section
Updating Security on a Multi-Media Unit, on
p. 131.
