Role Based Access Control
RBAC Definition
Role-based access control is a way to assign different levels of access to the users that define the features they can access.
RBAC is supported by MasterPact MTZ and ComPacT NSX circuit breakers only.
Access to the IFE interface is checked by RBAC mechanism when the connection is made through:
-
IFE interface webpages
-
EcoStruxure Power Commission (EPC) software
For information about enabling RBAC when the connection is made through EPC software, refer to IP Network Services .
Role Definition
The following roles are defined for remote access by default:
-
Security Administrator (SECADM)
-
Engineer
