Explaination of Console nodes and endpoints
An endpoint is an individual user account on a node which can run Aspera transfers. You can have one or multiple endpoints on a node depending on your business needs, as shown in Figure 2. Transfers are taken place between endpoints, for example, Transfer 1 between Endpoint A and Endpoint D.
All transfer permissions of non-admin Console users are governed by group assignments and predefined Transfer Paths. A Transfer Path is a specific access permissions between two endpoints. Each group may contain one or more Transfer Paths. In Figure 4, Group 1 contains two Transfer Paths, #1 and #2. A Console user inherits transfer permissions from all of the groups he or she belongs to. For example, Console User 2 belongs to both Group 1 and Group 2, and has the permissions to use Transfer Path #1, #2 and #3.
On Demand Console Administrators can view and control all transfers. They automatically inherit permissions from any existing On Demand Console groups, and have the ability to add, edit and delete nodes, Console users and Console groups.
