OUTLET MANAGED PDU

5.5.3.Modifying User Accounts

The "Edit User Directory" function allows you to edit existing accounts in order to change parameters, plug access rights or Administrator Command capability. Note that the Edit/Modify User function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.

Once you have accessed the Modify Users menu, use the menu options to redefine parameters in the same manner employed for the Add User menu, as discussed in Section 5.5.2.

Note:

After you have finished changing parameters, make certain to save the changes before proceeding. In the Web Browser Interface, click on the "Modify User" button to save parameters; in the Text Interface, press the [Esc] key several times until the Outlet Managed PDU displays the "Saving Configuration" message.

5.5.4.Deleting User Accounts

This function is used to delete individual user accounts. Note that the Delete User function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.

Notes:

Deleted accounts cannot be automatically restored.

The Outlet Managed PDU allows you to delete the default "super" account, which is included to permit initial access to command mode. Before deleting the "super" account, make certain to create another account that permits Administrator Access. If you do not retain at least one account with Administrator Access, you will not be able to invoke Administrator level commands.
