Installation Overview
The DashBoard Server and URM enables you to select how to manage user data: using your facility LDAP Server or setting up an isolated (embedded) database. Depending on how you have decided to manage the user data, you can assign permissions to individual users or groups of users, define user groups (roles) based on a variety of parameters, and manage access to devices on a single subnet.
This section provides a brief overview of the installation stages for the DashBoard Server and URM, and a summary of the DashBoard Server and URM features.
