Types of Users

The KVM/net support three types of users:

•Predefined administrators who can administer the KVM/net and its connected devices

•Optionally added users who can act as administrators of the KVM/net and its connected devices

•Optionally added users who can act as administrators of connected devices or regular users.

As summarized in the following table, two accounts, root and admin, are configured by default and cannot be deleted. The default “admin” account can add regular user accounts to allow other users to act as administrators of connected devices. An administrator can also choose to add regular users to the “admin” group, which enables the regular users to perform KVM/net administrative functions. The following table lists the responsibilities of each type of user and provides the default password for each.
