Remarks

The user's privilege level is very important for the front end as it specifies which user interface elements may be accessed by the user. With the sat-nms WebGUI the privilege level mechanism replaces the commonly used 'roles'. This works the following way:
- Each active user interface element like an entry field, a drop down box has a privilege level defined. Predefined screens like standard device screens have these level set to standard values, with user defined screens each user interface element may be configured to an individual privilege level.
- If the privilege level of the user is higher or equal to the level of the user interface element, he may change the parameter controlled by this element.
- If the privilege level of the user is lower, he gets the actual value of the parameter displayed, but he may not change this value.
The privilege level has a range from 1 to 150, commonly used values are 100 for standard operator access and 150 for admin privileges.
