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 th e IOLAN, you can create
a user account and configure the users access privileges. Notice that there is a Default user; the
Default users param eters are inherited by users logging into the IOLAN who are being authenticated
by an external authentication method (see Authentication on page 203 for more informat ion) or are
accessing the IOLAN as a Guest (see Local on page 205 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 on page 191 for more information about the other user parameters
you can configure.
