About channel access security

Channel access security restricts the user (as currently logged on to AppCenter) in their use of an AppCenter channel, regardless of what bin or what media is involved. This is different than media access security, in which the security restricts the user in their access to the media in a bin, regardless of what channel is being used.

You can set up an access control list for each channel through the channel’s Permissions dialog box. AppCenter uses the credential information for the current AppCenter logon and checks it against the access control list for a channel. In this way, AppCenter determines whether to allow or deny access to the channel’s controls.

When you set up a channel access control list, you select the permissions for the channel as follows:

Allow — The user can operate the channel. All channel controls are enabled.

Deny — The user can not operate the channel. The controls are not displayed on the channel pane.

If neither Allow nor Deny are selected permissions are inherited from the user’s parent group.

You configure these permissions to apply to users and groups. By default, all channels have their permission set to allow access to “Everyone”. In case of conflicts arising from a user belonging to multiple groups, the Deny permission always overrides the Allow permission.

When you log on to AppCenter on a local K2 system, permissions for all local channels are based on the single user logged on. Therefore channel permissions are enforced for just one user at a time across all local channels. If you require that channel permissions be enforced simultaneously for different users each accessing their own channel or channels on a single K2 system, those users must log on via a remote AppCenter channel suite from a Control Point PC. The remote AppCenter channel suite allows each channel to be operated by a different user.

Once permissions are granted based on the current logon account, those permissions remain in place until that account logs off of AppCenter.

If you need to restrict access to an AppCenter channel, configure channel access security by setting up a channel access control list.
