Adding/Modifying A User Account

User accounts are used to control access to the router and the Internet. To add a user account: 1. Click New User on the User Management page. This displays the Add/Modify User page.

(To modify a user, select the desired name in the Select User list and click Edit User to display the Add/ Modify User page. Note that changing the password or privileges of an existing user account may terminate a user’s current activity or connection.)

2.Enter User Name, Password, and Confirm Password in the appropriate boxes. (The User Name cannot be modified for an existing account. When editing an existing account, the Password and Confirm Password values are not displayed. If you leave them blank, the password is not changed.)

3.Do one of the following to assign privileges to this user account:

•Select one of the buttons at the top of this page to automatically assign pre-set privileges to the user based on common user roles. (Refer to Management Classes for details on the privileges automatically assigned to each role.)

•Manually select the management activity you want to assign to this user account. For each management activity class, click to select Read, Read-Writeprivileges for the user, or select None for no privilege.

4.In Allow Access From, specify one or more of the following:

•LAN: Can access from the LAN side.

•WAN: Can access from the WAN side.

•Console: Can access from a console.

User access verification is performed if the user account is verified during user authentication. User access verifies that the user account can access the router through the connectivity method being used, such as over the LAN or through a console.

5.Click Enabled for Account Access to enable this account. By default, accounts are disabled when added.

6.Click Apply to add/modify the user account.
