Administering Cisco WCS Users and Passwords
Cisco WCS supports four user groups:
•To monitor Cisco WCS operations, users must be part of the System Monitoring Group.
•To monitor and configure Cisco WCS operations, users must be part of the ConfigManagers Group.
•To monitor and configure Cisco WCS operations, and perform all system administration tasks except administering Cisco WCS users and passwords, users must be part of the Admin Group.
•To monitor and configure Cisco WCS operations, and perform all system administration tasks including administering Cisco WCS users and passwords, users must be part of the SuperUsers Group.
This section describes how to add user accounts and assign them to a user group, change passwords, and delete user accounts using the Cisco WCS Administration function.
Adding User Accounts
•If not already done, start the Cisco WCS as described in the Starting Cisco WCS as a Windows Application or Starting Cisco WCS as a Windows Service.
CAUTION: As soon as you have logged into the Cisco WCS User Interface as Super1, Cisco WLAN Solution recommends that you create a new superuser assigned to the Super Users Group, and then delete the Super1 user to prevent undesired access to Cisco WCS Super User operations.
•Select User Admin/Security Administration to display the Security Administration page.
•In the Security Administration page, click the Add User (single person) icon to display the User Administration page.
•In the User Administration page, add the new username and password. Click Next to display the User account expiry and Password expiry parameters.
•In this page, accept or change the desired expiration times for the user account and password. Click Next to display the Group based permissions, Direct Assignment, and Assign groups for the user parameters.
•As you are going to assign the new user account to a group which already has permissions assigned, make sure the Group based permissions and Direct Assignment boxes are checked.
•In the Assign groups for the user section, assign the new user account to one of the four user group names: System Monitoring, ConfigManagers, Admin, or SuperUsers.
•Ignore the rest of the fields in this page, and click Finish to complete adding the new user account.
•Close the Security Administration page.
•Close the Cisco Wireless Control System Release 3.0 page.
The new User Account has been added and can be used immediately. If necessary, refer to the Deleting User Accounts section to delete the default user accounts provided with Cisco Wireless Control System.
