Product Summary
The DashBoard client has the ability to detect devices on a subnet and can enable complete control of all settings on all devices. The DashBoard Server and User Rights Management (URM) is designed to enable administrators to assign and manage user permissions, and determine the level of access for those users. For example, one user is responsible for adjusting the network settings for one type of device, while another user manages the input and outputs of another device type.
Note — Other control mechanisms, such as SNMP, are not managed by the DashBoard URM.
DashBoard Server
Users must now log on to the DashBoard client with a user name and password before gaining access to the devices on their network. Access to devices is now configured using the options available in the DashBoard URM. You have the option of connecting DashBoard URM to an external LDAP Server to use your existing users and roles, or this information can be managed completely internal to the DashBoard Server with its built-in LDAP Server.
DashBoard URM
The DashBoard URM licensed feature enables administrators to manage how users access devices communicating with the DashBoard client. Until the DashBoard URM licensed feature is installed, the DashBoard URM assumes a default license where configurations can be saved for up to two users/roles. Once the DashBoard URM licensed feature is installed, the number of accounts you can configure is based on the license key you installed.
