Web-based Management 2:
Accessibility of pages

Valid from firmware release 2025.0 - for earlier firmware see the regarding WBM pages in the WBM (legacy) branch

Visibility and accessibility of WBM 2 pages in general

Pages in the WBM 2 depend on these conditions: 

  • device type
    Some WBM 2 pages are mandatory on all devices, others are only visible on devices that provide the according functions.
  • user settings
    Functions could have been deactivated on the device by settings in the System Services WBM 2 page, so the WBM 2 page won't be displayed even though the according feature is present in general with that product.
  • user-side programming
    Starting with Firmware release 2025.0, user may add their own pages for additional functions.
  • firmware release
    Newer firmware releases might provide more pages.
  • user role
    Visibility and accessibility for the default WBM 2 pages is only guaranteed for the default Admin user; additional users with other roles will have some restrictions. See the next section for the defaults.

Defaults for user roles

These are the defaults of visibility and accessibility on WBM 2 pages.

Note: User roles that are not mentioned in a table do not have any access permission in the regarding context.
