DashBoard server is designed to work with the DashBoard v4.0 client software and provides unmatched flexibility with its user rights and management plugin. The User Rights and Management feature, or "URM", enables station engineers to assign and manage user permissions, and administer the level of access for authorized users. When deployed through DB-Server, URM establishes hierarchical user or group level control for various types of devices controlled through DashBoard. For example, administrators can set up and control partitioning of access to entire frames, or individual device facilities for signal processing, network interfaces and I/O. Since URM is compatible with all DashBoard or openGear Connect enabled devices, it's simple to deploy to existing infrastructures.
