Screens can be restricted based on:
• User Name
• PC IP Address Range
• A combination of both User Name & PC IP Address Range
The above example shows a fairly simple system. You can develop even more complex Client
Permissions.
Client Restriction Rules
Normally, in an MCN Client-Server system, all clients can access all screens. The Client Permission
function works by taking away rights. The following are the rules for Client Permissions:
Initial Configuration – Unrestricted Client Permissions
When building a new system or loading older system configuration files without permissions,
Unrestricted Client Permissions will take effect. The top key icon will have a label saying "Unrestricted
Access" on it. If you don't want to restrict the screens available to specific users or PCs, you don't have
to modify the Client Permissions. Unrestricted Client Permissions means:
1. Users can log on from any PC at any IP address that can access the server over IP.
2. All user names will be accepted.
3. All users on all PCs can access all screens.
PC Configuration
1. If a PC (or range of PCs) is not listed with restrictions, it will be able to access all screens.
2. PCs can be added at the first level (root) of the tree.
3. Each PC icon can have a range of IP addresses. The screens authorized under that PC icon will
pertain to all PCs in that IP address range.
4. Each PC icon must have a unique IP address range. It cannot overlap with the IP address range
of any other PC icon.
5. When a PC icon has no screens or users under it, it has access to all screens. The label for the
PC will show "All Screens".
6. A PC icon with screens or users below it will have restricted access.
7. When a PC icon is first added, it will All Screens access.
User configuration
1. Master Users are added at the first (root) level.
2. Sub Users can be added under one or more PC icons.
3. Master Users can also be added as Sub Users under PC icons.
4. When a User icon has no screens under it, it has access to all screens. The label for the User
will show "All Screens".
5. A User icon with screens below it will have restricted access.
6. When a User icon is added (either as a Master User or a Sub User), it will have All Screen
access.
