Client User Authentication
Administration of client user authorization for read/write privileges allows two
levels of VMS access:
• Read and Write – Full access to all VMS features and functions with
write authorization. Typically assigned to administrator-level operators
who are authorized to perform system setup and maintenance,
configuration changes, manual/diagnostic switching, etc.
• Read Only – Access restricted to viewing network settings and status.
Typically assigned to users who will use the VMS for monitoring
purposes.
Configuration of client user authentication should be performed by the network
administrator. By default, write authorization is disabled, and all users are
provided read and write privileges. To change the VMS Security setting, use the
following procedure.
1. Click on the VMS Server icon in the top tool bar and select Properties from
the drop-down menu, figure 3-18.

By default, write authorization for client users is disabled, and those users
who are to have write access privileges must be entered into the Authorized
Writers list.
3. To add a user to the authorized list, enter their domain and user account
name in the entry field using the format domain\user , then click the Add
button.
