ACCESS

PASSWORDS

Write security: 0; Read security: 5

Provides a way to edit passwords and, also, to add new users and pass- words. All menu items are protected by passwords of varying security lev- els. By assigning different passwords to different security levels, the ATLAS 550 system administrator can control which users can change vari- ous menu items.

You can assign multiple passwords at the same access level. This way, dif- ferent users with the same access privileges can have different passwords. Table 6-1 on page 6-2 describes each of the six password security levels.

Passwords are case-sensitive.
