Tripp Lite B064-016-04-IPG, B064-032-04-IPG, B064-032-02-IPG User Management, Adding User Accounts

OSD Operation (continued)

User Management

The User Management section allows Super Administrators, and Administrators and Users who have been given User Management permission, to add/edit accounts on the KVM switch. If an account has not been given User Management permission, the User Management icon will not show up in the OSD when they log in. The User Management section is displayed differently when accessing the OSD via web browser or one of the non-browser clients. The web browser version contains two sub-sections, one for Accounts and one for Groups. The non-browser version contains one section, in which both User accounts and Group accounts are displayed in the list on the left side of the screen. The non-browser version also includes filtering options below the User/Group list. Note: Administrators with User Management permission can only add/edit Administrator and User accounts. Users with User Management permission can only add/edit User accounts. Super Administrators can add/edit all account types.

Adding User Accounts

There is a default Super Administrator account on the KVM switch that can be used to set up the KVM switch. The default Super Administrator username is administrator, and the default password is password. It is strongly recommended that you update this default accounts username and password to something unique. To add a new user account, do the following:

1.Highlight Users from the list on the left side of the page, and then click the Add button at the bottom of the screen. The user information page opens.

2.Enter in the appropriate information for the account you are creating, and click the Save button when you are done. The contents of the user information screen and their meanings are described in the table below.

3.Upon clicking Save, a prompt appears to inform you that the operation succeeded. Click the OK button to exit.
