Configuring Access Privileges
Access privileges, which determine whether a given workstation
can perform certain actions, such as make changes to the
directory, are located under the Configuration menu “Attendants”
tab.
The “Rights” box lists privileges that are that can be configured for
each attendant. A check in a box indicates that the attendant has
the privilege to perform the specified function.
For example, the attendant with the “New Attendant #1” identifier
has the privileges to “Log on to a Console” and “Edit general
parameters.” However, the absence of check marks in other
boxes indicates that no other privileges are available to this
attendant. This means that “New Attendant #1” could not, for
instance, “Add/edit an attendant” or “Edit Directory Information.”
Note:
You must register at least one Meridian 1 Attendant PC
and the LAN interface module before attempting to add additional
workstations.
