TANDBERG VIDEO COMMUNICATIONS SERVER ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
Overview
Default Administration Account
The VCS has a default administrator account with full read/write access. This account is used to log into the VCS via the web UI or the CLI. The username for this account is admin (all lower case) and the default password is TANDBERG (all upper case).
You cannot delete the default administrator account or change the admin username, but you should change the password as soon as possible. Choose a strong password, particularly if administration over IP is enabled.
Additional Administration Accounts
You can add up to 15 additional administration accounts with either Read Write access or Read Only access. These can be used to log in via the web UI only.
Administration Access Levels
Read Write
Administration accounts with Read Write access can view and change all configuration available via the web UI. These accounts have exactly the same rights as the default admin user.
Read Only
Administration accounts with Read Only access can view the current status and configuration of the VCS, but cannot make any changes. Some pages, such as the Upgrade page, are blocked to Read Only accounts.
