8.1 Administrator functions
The Mastercycler nexus software differentiates between default users and the administrator. All users and
the administrator need a PIN to log into the device. Users can only make changes to their own accounts.
The administrator has write access to all areas. If you deactivate the PIN function, all users automatically
have administrator rights and can make changes to all user accounts (see p. 70).
The access rights differ as follows:
