Four things determine whether a user has access to a command. They are: the
user’s permission level, the command’s permission level, the position of the Site
Controller manager keyswitch (not available at this time), and the position of
the console keyswitch (if entering commands from a console).
• If a user has a permission level that is equal to or greater than the permission
level required for a command, that user may execute that command.
• The manager keyswitch (not available at this time) is a way to temporarily
increase the users’ permission level. The key, when inserted and turned
clockwise until it stops, has a permission level associated with it. The
manager key permission level is assigned by the disk-based configuration
program SYS_PAR, and is usually assigned during the initial configuration
of the system.
When the manager key is inserted and fully turned, the permission level
associated with the key is in effect for all users, except those users who
already have a higher permission level.
• If a user is signed on to a console, the console keyswitch may also raise the
user’s effective permission level. The permission level associated with each
key, when inserted, will be in effect if it is higher than the user’s permission
level. The key position permission levels are as follows:
How to Use Permission Levels
Permission levels can ensure Site Controller security.
Although we refer to user numbers and user permission levels, most sites will
not have a separate user ID and sign-on code for each person. Instead, most sites
will probably rely on the console or manager’s keyswitch to set permission
levels for site personnel.
