Configuring Access Control
If you have system administrator privileges, you can configure access control to grant or limit
access to specific VTS functions. Each login ID belongs to a group and each group has a
unique set of privileges.
By default, VTS is an open system, which means that all users can access all functions. Access
control enables you to establish rights for specific users or classes of users. You can fine tune
control of VTS system resources on a group-by-group basis. A closed system requires
authentication to access resources assigned to a particular group. You can enable or disable
individual rights to resources.
This chapter describes how to configure VTS as a closed system, how to configure users, and
how to configure groups.
Enabling a closed system
You can enable a closed system to require authentication. The user can access only the
resources assigned to a particular group. You can enable or disable individual rights to
resources.
