Setting Up Users
When you have a user who is accessing a device connected to a serial port from the network or who
is accessing the network from a device connected to a serial port through the IOLAN, you can create
a user account and configure the user’s access privileges. Notice that there is a Default user; the
Default user’s parameters are inherited by users logging into the IOLAN who are being authenticated
by an external authentication method (see Authentication for more information) or are accessing the
IOLAN as a Guest (see Local for more information).
To add a user account, click on the Users page in the navigation pane.
Click the Add button to create a user account.
To quickly add a user, fill out the field in the General tab and click OK.
See Chapter 8, Configuring Users for more information about the other user parameters you can
configure.
