5.5.4.Deleting User Accounts

This function is used to delete individual user accounts. Note that the Delete User function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands. To delete an existing user account, proceed as follows:

•Text Interface: From the Users Directory menu, type 4 and press [Enter]. The MPC will display a screen which lists all currently defined accounts. Key in the name of the account you wish to delete and press [Enter]. The MPC will delete the specified account without further prompting.

•Web Browser Interface: From the User Configuration menu, click the "View/Modify Users" link. The MPC will display a menu that lists all currently defined accounts. Select the "Delete User" box, then click the down arrow, scroll to the account you wish to delete, select the account, and then click "Choose User." The MPC will display a screen that lists details for the specified account; click "Delete User" to confirm deletion.

Notes:

•Deleted accounts cannot be automatically restored.

•The MPC allows you to delete the default "super" account, which is included to permit initial access to command mode. Before deleting the "super" account, make certain to create another account that permits Administrator Access. If you do not retain at least one account with Administrator Access, you will not be able to invoke Administrator level commands.
