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 the IOLAN, you can create
a user account and configure the user’s access privileges. Notice that there is a Default user; the
Default user’s parameters are inherited by users logging into the IOLAN who are being authenticated
by an external authentication method (see

Authentication on page 213

for more information) or are

accessing the IOLAN as a Guest (see

Local on page 215

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 201

for more information about the other user parameters

you can configure.
