Configuring parameters for single device

Configure device parameters with role-based access control in VHQ, managing basic and advanced parameter templates through the Device Profile with specific user rights and privileges.

Use this when you need to view or edit application parameters for one specific device.

Configure application parameters for a single device

1

Find the device

Go to the Device Search screen and search for the device.

2

Open the device profile

Click the serial number in the Serial# column to view the Device Profile.

3

Open the Parameter tab

On Device Profile, click Device Details > Parameter.

This screen shows all applications assigned to the device. You can configure an application's parameters by editing values and assigning parameter templates. Based on the form view file, basic and advanced parameter editing is controlled by access levels: Advanced, Basic, View, and None. Access control applies at both the container and parameter level, with container-level access always taking precedence.

VHQ provides separate rights and privileges for editing parameters, distinct from device rights.

Currently, a user with basic or advanced parameter rights can edit the parameters of a single device from the device profile.

Import and activation rights

Alongside basic and advanced parameter rights, VHQ adds:

• Import parameter right: Lets a user import devices and hierarchy in VHQ. VHQ checks device rights during import, based on the operations specified in the XML.
• Activation parameter right: Lets a user activate parameters. The user must also have the device modify right — with only the device right, they can update parameters in the UI but not send them to the device. Sending or activating parameters requires the activation parameter right.

Global operation rights

VHQ restricts global operations — those involving more than one device — in the Device Search screen based on a separate global rights layer, on top of existing per-operation rights.
