This information is used to authenticate users attempting toaccess your KX III.Up to 254 users can be created for each user group.If you are using a tiered configuration in which a base KX III device isused to access multiple other tiered devices, users will need permissionto access the base device and permissions to access each individualtiered device (as needed).When users log on to the base device, each tiered device is queried andthe user can access each target server they have permissions to. SeeConfiguring and Enabling Tiering (on page 137)for more informationon tiering.Adding a New UserIt is a good idea to define user groups before creating KX III usersbecause, when you add a user, you must assign that user to an existinguser group.
