Protocol control of channels and media access security

Protocol security restricts a channel in its access to the media in a bin, regardless of what user is currently logged on to AppCenter. This is different than the other types of media access security, in which the security restricts the user (as currently logged on to AppCenter) in their access to the media in a bin, regardless of what channel is being used.

Nevertheless, permissions for protocol channels are still derived from user accounts. In AppCenter’s Configuration Manager, on the Security tab you can associate a user account with a channel of protocol control. Based on that association, when a protocol controls the channel, AppCenter checks the credential information for the associated user account against the access control list for a K2 bin. This is the access control list that you set up through the Organize Bins dialog box in AppCenter. In this way, AppCenter determines whether to allow or deny that channel’s operations on the media in the bin.

By default, protocols have administrator privileges for media access. In addition, protocols are always allowed access to a channel.
