Access Rights Menu
The Access Rights Menu is accessed whenever you select Change Access Rights (option 6) from the Edit User menu, or Change
Access Rights from the Edit Group menu. The options in this menu is described below:
Adding a Group
1. Type 7 and <Enter> at the Security Setup prompt (at the bottom of the Main Security Menu) to add a group account. A sample
session response is:
The following groups are currently enrolled:
administrator
Enter name of new group:
2. Enter a name for the group. A group name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) defining the group.
This string is case sensitive, and each group name must be unique.
3. Press <Enter> to display the Edit Group menu.
Edit Group Menu: Add Directory Association
1. At the Edit Group prompt, type 1 to add a new directory association.
A Directory Association is a path that defines the directories and/or files that a particular user or group can access via the
HTTP (Web) Server on the NetLinx Master. This character string can range from 1 to 128 alpha-numeric characters. This string
is case sensitive. This is the path to the file or directory you want to grant access. Access is limited to the user (i.e. doc:user)
directory of the Master. All subdirectories of the user directory can be granted access.
A single '/' is sufficient to grant access to all files and directories in the user directory and it's sub-directory.
The '*' wildcard can also be added to enable access to all files.
All entries should start with a '/'.
Here are some examples of valid entries:
By default, all accounts that enable HTTP Access are given a '/*' Directory Association if no other Directory Association has
been assigned to the account. When you are prompted to enter the path for a Directory Association, the NetLinx Master will
attempt to validate the path.
