Understanding the Administrator's User Interface
This chapter describes how to access the Broadband Access Center for Cable (BACC) administrative user interface and explains important aspects about it.
Chapter 9, "Using the Broadband Access Center for Cable Administrator User Interface" explains how to use the BACC administrator user interface to perform administrative activities. In addition, the Cisco Broadband Access Center for Cable Command Line Interface Reference contains descriptions of the CLI commands used to access, monitor, and control the device provisioning engine (DPE) devices.

Nodes
The Nodes menu lets you group devices into specific categories that can be searched and documented using log entries. that then be searched on and very detailed log entries made. BACC supports pre-defined Nodes that can be used to group devices. You can also create your own nodes as required.
Users
Depending on your user type, you can use this menu to add, modify, and delete users. This menu displays all users configured to use BACC and identifies their user types.
There are three types of BACC users: an Administrator, a Read/Write user, and a Read Only user. Each has different levels of access with unique permissions to ensure access control and the integrity of provisioning data.
The assigned user type appears near the top right corner of every administrative user interface screen.
Administrator
BACC recognizes only one administrator and allows this user to view, add, change, delete device data, and create other users. As an Administrator, you can also change other users permissions from Read/Write to Read Only, and vice versa. In addition, you have the ability to change the passwords of any other user type.
Read/Write User
As a Read/Write user, you can perform the same functions as the administrator although you cannot create other users nor can you change the user types of others or change their passwords. Read/Write users can change their own password.
Read Only User
As a Read Only user, you have basic access including the ability to change your password and to view, but not change, device data. You cannot perform any action that is considered disruptive. You cannot, for example, perform reset or regenerate configurations.
Note
Scrolling Backward and Forward
Several functions within BACC administrator can result in lengthy lists of information that cannot always be displayed on a single page. BACC allows you to view these pages one at a time through a group of controls located in the lower left corner of each page. When multiple pages of information are available, the number of pages are also identified. To access a specific page, click the appropriate page number. Click the left and right arrow controls to move backward or forward respectively, through the number of displayed pages.
