You can set up an account for a user, whether another supervisor, operator, or observer, to access the
9160. You can also update or delete usernames or permissions. Settings for certain values for some
parameters, such as SNMPv3 Authentication and Privacy Protocols, can determine or limit which
values you can set for other parameters. To manage a user account, access the User Accounts screen
