6.13 Administrators

This page allows you to add new users to the DCM, and change the
passwords of existing users.

Users of the DCM can be one of two kinds.

Unprivileged users can log in or view the Web interface of the

DCM, including its current configuration, but cannot change any
of the options, nor configure any instruments attached to the

DCM

Administrators may change settings or configure attached

digitizers as they please.

You may want to give different users separate accounts for tracking or

other purposes, or to allow users to set their own preferences when
logging in. Alternatively, you may prefer to restrict access only to those

with administrative requirements, by removing any unprivileged user
accounts. If you want to access the DCM by

any means, locally or

remotely, you must have a username and password on the list given
here.

If this is the first time you have logged in to the DCM, there will be a

single user, root, whose password is factory-set. To add a new user,

fill in their username and password in the top two boxes of the page.
Repeat the password in the next box, to ensure it is entered correctly

(since it will not be visible on screen), and click on Add user. A
username may not contain spaces or colons.
