Read-Only Access for
OTM Web Station Administration
Customers frequently request that
we configure a “read-only” login for both
Windows and Web access to OTM Station Administration.
This eliminates the possibility of corruption from inexperienced
users who otherwise may inadvertently destroy vital
programming. They are only allowed to view, and are
not allowed to change keys or features, or transmit
anything to the PBX. The steps below detail how to configure
this in the OTM.
1. From the OTM Server or Client, open the Security
menu at the main OTM Navigator window, and proceed to
User Groups as shown in Figure
1.
Figure 1.
2. From the User Groups Configuration
menu, add a user group. The example in Figure
2 shows a Read Only entry. Use the “Root”
tree pane to allow or disallow access to Windows and
Web applications. The example shows No Access
to Windows and Web applications, except Read-write
access to Web Station under
the Navigator heading. With the present
version of OTM, 2.10.56, this configuration is required
to allow the read-only user to access the desired system(s).
Additional programming detailed below in Steps
Four and Five via the Web Administrator will
secure read only status.
Repeat the process under the Sites heading
for Web Station Admin. Set to Read-write
access as in Figure 3 below. When finished,
click on the OK button.

3. Return to the main OTM Navigator window, re-select
the Security menu and choose Users.
From the Configuration tab, choose Add User
and create a Read-Only entry.

Create a Login Name and password,
and assign to the Read Only User Group that was created
in step two above. When finished, click on the OK
button.

4. Open an Internet Explorer session to the OTM Server
by addressing http://OTMServerName/Admin. When the OTM
splash screen appears as in Figure 7,
click on the logo. Login with an Administrative account
as in Figure 8. Proceed to Web
Administration – User Groups as in Figure
9. Highlight the Read-Only entry, and click
the Edit button to open.

Note in Figure 10 that the Web designations
under the Navigator tab for Read-write Access should
be the same as they were configured in step two above.
Figure 10.
5. Click on the Telephone tab as shown
in Figure 11. Under Options,
configure the User Sync Options so
that the User cannot sync changes. Also, leave unchecked
the Allow user to restore pending changes box.
Then, note the additional tabs for General,
Keys, Features and Details. In the General
tab, leave unchecked the Page is Read/Write
box.
Figure 11.
In the Keys tab as shown in Figure 12,
note the encircled item. There are no Keys selected
that could be changed by a Read-Only user.
Figure 12.
In the Features tab shown in Figure 13,
the features can be configured so that they are Hidden,
Read Only or Read Write. ReadWrite is the default. Features
should be set to Read Only.
Figure 13.
In the Details tab shown in Figure 14,
check the Show this page box.
Figure 14.
6. Verify the new settings by opening a new Internet
Explorer session to the OTM Server by addressing http://OTMServerName/Admin.
This time use the Read Only login. Note that now, only
the Web Station option is available as shown in Figure
15 and that the only Site/System that is available
is the one that has been configured for Read Only. In
this example, it’s the Sample Site/Sample System.
Under the Find Telephones section,
choose to find by Prime DN and click
the Find button.
Figure 15.
A database similar to the one in Figure 16 will appear.
Click on the Location field to open a station record
as seen in Figures 17 and 18. The General, Keys, Features
and Detail tabs should be available as Read Only and
no transmissions to the PBX will be allowed.
