Craft User

The Craft User object is a child of the Craft Users object.

Each Craft User object defines a user that is able to access the VP3000 or the EMS Server using a craft console.

Note that for a particular user to have access to multiple VP3000s, you must create a Craft User object below each corresponding MetaSwitch object. Similarly, for a particular Craft User to have access to the EMS Server as well as the VP3000s, you must also create an object below the Element Management System object.

To configure and enable a new Craft User, you need to do the following:
