Manage User Accounts and Access Levels
About This Chapter This chapter describes how to configure levels of user access to
different information on the module.
By assigning user accounts with different access levels, you can
manage which users have access to change network configuration or
have access to view and change data views.
Several pages on the web server module, such as module
configuration pages and data views pages, have default access
protection. Before accessing these pages, you must authenticate your
access by entering a user name and password. The module displays
the log-in box when you access these web pages.
The default user name is Administrator with no password.
User Accounts and
Privilege Classes The web server module supports multiple user accounts, each with a
user name and password. Each user account is configured for one of
these access levels:
• Administrator (all access)
• Write (read and write access)
• Read (read access only)
The access level determines which web pages each user can access.
You configure access limits for individual web pages.

IMPORTANT
Once authenticated, you do not have to re-enter a user name or
password when accessing subsequent pages. You must close
your browser to log out.
IMPORTANT
It is strongly recommended that you set a password for the
default Administrator account.
