User Management

You can set up accounts for the users of your BaseStation 6000 system. After you set up the user’s account and password, you

can grant access or restrict access to various functions in the BaseStation 6000 software. In addition to giving different people

different levels of access to the system, you can also track what each user is doing and what changes he or she made in the

system. Refer to the Configuration Log described in Available Logs and Reports on page 90.

Typically one user assumes the role of administrator and has access to all program functions including adding new users and

assigning/maintaining passwords. The administrator might want to grant full access to another user so that person can serve as

a backup administrator, but most other users will be have restricted access to the program functions.

After you set up user accounts and enable the passwords, you will be prompted to type your password when you try to navigate

to various program functions. If you have access, you will be allowed to proceed, but if not, a message warns that you do not

have permission to enter the area (software function).
