Setting up user accounts

When you select the User category, the web interface will retrieve and display a list of user names and current access levels from the KVM switches. You can add, modify or delete users in this listing. You can assign three access levels: Appliance Administrator, User Administrator and User. The Appliance Administrator and Appliance User access levels allow you to assign individual server access rights to a user.
