Configuring K2 security
The section contains topics about K2 security.
Overview of K2 security features
K2 security features reference Windows operating system user accounts and groups on the local K2
system to determine permission levels. Depending on the account used to log on to the Windows
operating system, to log on to K2 applications, or to otherwise authenticate system access, permission
is granted for various levels of operational and media access.
K2 systems offer security features as follows:
• Windows operating system — Depending on the current Windows logon, permission is granted
to make security and user account settings in the Windows operating system.
• K2 applications — Depending on the user account used to log on to the application, permission
is granted to control and configure the application. These K2 applications include AppCenter,
Storage Utility, and the K2 System Configuration application.
