User Permissions

Use the User Permissions page to configure a user's permissions associated with various services and configuration settings.

Depending on your mobile service provider, other users can access your Digi Connnect WAN Family product over the Internet, through various network services enabled on your Digi Connnect WAN Family product. To further secure the Digi Connnect WAN Family product, you can disable network services that are not required for the Digi device. You can disable non-secure or un-encrypted network services such as Telnet. See Network Services Settings.

A user cannot set another user's permission level higher than their own permission level, nor can a user raise their own permission level.

The list of services and the user permissions available for them vary by Digi Connnect WAN Family product and the features supported in the product. There are several groups of services, such as:

• Network Configuration
• Serial Configuration
• System Configuration
• User Configuration
• Peripherals
• Application Configuration
• Connection Management
• Command Line Applications
• System Administration
  • Reboot/Update Firmware: Allows the user to reboot the device and update the firmware. Choose Execute if the user should be able to perform these tasks. Otherwise, choose None.

The possible selections for each permissions setting can vary, but includes the following possibilities:

• None: The user does not have permission to execute this setting.
• Read Self: The user can display their own settings, but not those of other users.
• Read: The user can read the setting for all users, but does not have permission to modify or write the setting.
