26 ULTRACONSOLE REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
The configure user, profile, and group menus all tie together to provide access control to the computers. A group
defines which computers in the system can and cannot be accessed. This group is assigned to a profile name. The
profile defines how the computers (defined by the group) can be accessed. The profile is assigned to a user or
users.
When a user logs on to the KVM Switch module, their assigned profile is validated. This profile defines which group
has been assigned (which computers can be accessed), what mode the user can connect to the computers with
(view, share, control, private), the share time, scan time, and logout time.
The configure user, profile, and group features provide a flexible and reliable security set-up for the Switch module.
