Adding an Administration Account
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.
