OnBoard Console Login Screen
Regular users by default are not able to access the OnBoard’s shell, and they cannot do anything on the OnBoard’s console that they could not do from the Web Manager menu options. Users are encouraged to use the Web Manager instead of going through it and using the console.
After authentication, the regular user sees the two following choices to access devices or change the user’s password, which are similar to the Web Manager menu options.
