Switching to the management level

This function allows a user to switch from the current user level to the management level. To switch to the management level, a user must provide the correct super password.

The access level switchover of a user is valid for the current login only; it does not change the access level configured for the user. When the user re-logs in to the Web interface, the access level of the user is still the original level.

To switch to the management level, select Device Users from the navigation tree, click the Switch To Management tab, input the correct super password, and click Login.
