Managing user accounts

Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account Administration dialogs. However, any user can modify their own password. Select Switch > User Accounts to open the User

Account Administration dialog.

A user account consists of the following:

•Account name or login

•Password

•Authority level

•Expiration date

Switches come from the factory with the following user accounts:

Table 7 Factory user accounts

Account name	Password	Admin authority	Expiration

admin	password	true	never expires

images	images	false	never expires

The Admin account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the User Account Administration dialogs. The Admin account can create, remove, or modify user accounts, and change account passwords. The Admin account can also view and modify the switch and its configuration with McDATA Web Server. The Admin account can not be removed.

Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration using McDATA Web Server. Users without Admin authority are limited to viewing switch status and configuration.

The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and can not be removed.
