The Workstations form authorizes workstations accessing Manitou. When installing a workstation on a machine, that will access Manitou, the workstation must be authorized access. This includes any workstation, including Web clients. The Workstations form displays all workstations and their status.

- Click Edit.
- Click the line to edit.

Access Levels
Access Levels are used to define the level of access each Workstation has to the Manitou system. The following table provides an overview of Workstation Access Levels:
- Pending - This level is the default level for any new workstations attempting to access Manitou.
- Unapproved - Blocks access of that workstation.
- Non-Protected Area - If the site is UL or ULC certified, the workstations outside the alarm monitoring space must be set to Non-protected. This disables alarm monitoring access in Manitou.
- Protected Area - The workstation is authorized to process alarms.
- Disabled - The workstation will no longer be available to access Manitou. Generally, sites remove the lines as opposed to disabling.
