Changing DS user permissions
A DS appliance or DSR switch inherits the permissions of the group to which it is added in the DS
topology view. For example, adding a DSR switch to the top level Topology node will cause the
DSR switch to contain permissions identical to those defined for the Topology node.
When you wish to change default permissions for a DS appliance, it is recommended that the
permissions of the group to which the DS appliance belongs be changed instead. This ensures that
all DS appliances subsequently added to the group will contain identical default permissions.
To change default DS user permissions:
1. Select a DS appliance/port or generic appliance for which you wish to change DS
user permissions.
- or -
Select the group containing the DS appliance or generic appliance to change the permissions of
all group members.
2. Select Edit - Permissions from the drop-down menu.
- or -
Right-click and select the Permissions command from the shortcut menu.
- or -
Click the Permissions toolbar icon.
3. A DS user listing will appear. You will see a DS user listed as Everyone, which is configured
with the default permissions. Any DS user you do not set up with individual permissions will
use this default configuration.
