User Accounts

Access to the console is controlled via user accounts. You can create up to six accounts, one of which must be an Admin-level account. The other five accounts can be any combination of Admin-level and User-level accounts.

1.Under Basic Setup in the left panel, click User Accounts.

2.Click New to add a user.

3.Enter a new username, assign an initial password, and then confirm the new password. Determine whether the user should have Admin or User privileges. (The next section describes the differences.) The first user created must be granted Admin privileges.

4.Click Apply to make the user addition effective.

The Apply button makes changes to the switch configuration for the current session only. If you want these changes to be permanent, all changes (including user additions or updates) must be entered into non-volatile ram using the Save Changes option in the left panel.

Admin and User Privileges

There are two levels of user privileges: Admin and User. Some menu selections available to users with Admin privileges may not be available to those with User privileges.
