1.Select the desired user’s name from the Main Panel and click Delete.

2.A confirmation dialog box will appear asking if you are sure you want to delete the selected user account. Click OK.

Groups

Groups give Administrators and Super Administrators a convenient way to efficiently manage users and devices. Since device access rights apply to anyone who is a member of the group, administrators need only set them once for the group, instead of having to set them for each user individually. Multiple groups can be defined to allow some users access to specific devices, while restricting other users from accessing them.

Groups – Creating Groups

To create a group, do the following:

1.Highlight Groups in the Groups List on the left side of the screen. Note: When accessing the OSD via web browser, you will need to click the Groups sub-section tab first.
