Setting up user accounts

When you select the Users category, the OBWI will retrieve and display a list of usernames and current access levels from the AutoView switch. From here, you can add, modify or delete users and assign access levels. The User Administrator and Appliance Administrator access levels allows you to assign individual server access rights.
