Operator Passwords - DSX Access System, Inc. WinDSX User Manual

Operator Passwords is the mechanism that secures the system from unauthorized use. The
Operator Passwords are unique to each operator providing the operators the same use of the
system regardless of which workstation they are at. Each operator has a Password Profile that
determines what privileges the operator has in the software. Each operator can have their own
Password Profile or multiple operators can share a profile. The Operator must enter their
Password when starting the system and must log off when leaving the workstation.
This method of password protection allows the manager to add the operator into the system and
assign them the appropriate password profile, and an initial password. The operator is given their
login name and password profile at which time they can change their password to one they only
know. Once this is done the manager can go back and modify the login name and profile without
viewing or changing the password.
