Configuring roles
You can configure roles to restrict access to DS-System functionality to specific users or a groups. Initially the DS-System permits logons from an Administrator on Windows or a root user on Linux.
NOTE: You cannot assign roles to users from the Administrators group (Windows) or the root super-user (Linux). The DS-Operator will ignore all additional permissions and allow that user only to edit roles for other users.
To configure roles:
1. On the Setup menu, click Roles.
2. In the Assign Roles dialog box, do one of the following:
• To assign a role, click Add.
• To modify a role, select a user or group, and then click Edit.
NOTE: To delete a role, select the user or group that you want to delete, and then click Remove.
3. In the Add/Edit Role dialog box, do the following:
a) In the Type box, select whether you are assigning the role to a user or to a group.
b) In the User/Group Name box, type a name for the user or group.
c) In the From box, select the domain or server where the user or group is defined.
d) Under Roles, select the role(s) for the user or group. Your choices are as follows:
• View Logs – View the logs stored on the DS-System.
• Data Operator – Perform daily maintenance tasks, generate reports, and manage customers, DS-Clients, and DR Drills.
• Account Manager – Manage account profiles and create, update, and delete customers or DS-Clients.
