Chapter 18
User settings (Security)
This chapter explains the User Level settings that allow restrictions on the
parameters that can be operated by each user, the Console Lock function
that temporarily disables operation of the console, the Preferences settings
that allow the operating environment to be customized, and Save/Load oper-
ations using USB storage devices.
User Level settings allow you to restrict the parameters that be operated by each user, or to change
the settings of user-defined keys and preference settings for each user. Settings for each user can be
stored as a “user authentication key” on a USB storage device, allowing users to be switched easily,
simply by connecting this storage device to a USB connector. This is convenient in the following situa-
tions.
• Unintended or mistaken operation can be prevented.
• The range of functionality operable by an outside engineer (guest engineer) can be limited.
• In situations in which multiple operators alternate with each other, output settings etc. can be locked to
prevent unintended operations.
• Preferences of each operator can easily be switched.
There are three types of user, as follows. In order to operate the M7CL, you must log-in as a user.
• Administrator ............This is the administrator of the M7CL, and can use all of its functionality. Only one set of
Administrator settings is maintained inside the M7CL. The Administrator can create user
authentication keys for other users.
• Guest..........................The Guest can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. Only one
set of Guest settings is maintained inside the M7CL.
• User ............................A User can use only the range of functionality permitted by the Administrator. User settings
are saved on a USB storage device as a user authentication key. Multiple sets of User set-
tings can be saved with different user names. A User who has Power User privileges can
create or edit user authentication keys with a specified user level.
When a user logs on, the user settings for that user are applied. User settings include the following information.
• Password (except for Guest)
• User level (except for Administrator)
• Preferences
• User-defined keys
