title Note:
Before installing the Spacevars 0 series5 application software, the Spacevars 0 product hardware must be racked, cabled and powered up according to procedures provided in Installing SBC 5000 Series Hardware or Installing SBC 7000 Hardware, as applicable. For any hardware or software installation questions, contact Technical Support.

User Dedicated Home Directory

The SBC dedicates a "home" directory (/home/user) to each user. Other users do not have permissions to access another user's "home" directory. This enables users to perform such tasks as uploading/downloading scripts and CLI logs to and from their dedicated work space without any concerns that this information will be visible to other users or risking overwriting other users files.

All new application management users (except the default admin user) are assigned a unique home directory (/home/user) with read/write permission only given to that user. The default admin user maintains the use of /home/administrator as a home directory with Administrator group read/write permission for backward compatibility. Application management users created prior to upgrading to SBC Core 6.x will have their own unique home directory created as part of the upgrade.

Users can connect to the SBC using Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), but access is limited to their home directory and linked shared group directories such as Administrator/, config/, evlog/, and external/.
