The VM2000 system as a whole is operated by the VM2000 administrator. He/she is the privileged administrator who is authorized to enter all VM2000 commands.
The VM2000 administrator is also the VM administrator for the monitor VM.
The VM2000 administrator always has priority over the VM administrator. For example, the VM2000 administrator can intervene in every VM.
The VM2000 administrator operates the whole VM2000 system via the monitor VM in the ADMIN dialog.
The whole VM2000 system can also be operated from BS2000 consoles in the monitor system, e.g. if BCAM is not active in the monitor system.
Authorization code “9” is required for operating the whole VM2000 system via a BS2000 console of the monitor system.
All VM2000 commands have the authorization code “9”. All VM2000 messages have the routing code “9”.
Only VM2000 commands can be entered and only VM2000 messages can be received on a BS2000 console that only has the authorization code “9”. This means that a BS2000 console of this type has the same authorization as the ADMIN dialog of the VM2000 administrator.
The VM2000 administrator can use:
privileged VM2000 commands (VM2000 administrator commands)
privileged functions in the VM administrator commands
The standard range of commands/functions of the VM2000 commands can be restricted for the VM2000 administrator or extended for the VM administrator (see "Extending and restricting the range of commands/functions").
