Managing Selection Lists

By means of the type and distribution of the selection list in combination with the user management, the administrator can control the access to the UTN servers that are available in the network.

All users will at first use the same global selection list. As an alternative, the administrator can provide users with user-specific selection lists by means of an .ini file.

The access can be controlled by placing predefined selection lists into user-specific directories. Revoking write rights to the .ini file will limit and control the access to functions of the SEH UTN Manager for individual users.

In the following, the selection list types will be described in greater detail.

Global Selection List

·     All users of a client use the same selection list.

·     The users can only access the devices listed in the selection list.

·     Unauthorized persons will not be able to access devices that are not listed in the selection list.

·     The selection list can only be edited by administrators.

User-Specific Selection List

·     Each user has their own selection list. All administrators have the same selection list.

·     The selection list can be edited by the administrator or by users with write access.

·     The users can access all devices listed in the selection list. (Provided that no security mechanisms have been specified via the myUTN Control Center.)

·     The selection lists of the users will be saved as .ini files in the following location:
$HOME/.config/SEH Computertechnik GmbH\SEH UTN Manager.ini
(The folder may have to be created.)

Detailed information about the administration of selection lists can be found in the myUTN User Manual.
