Step 4: Access [Wizard]
In Wizard mode, selecting “Step 4: Access” brings up a screen for adding or deleting users and for setting or changing passwords. The screen appears as shown in the following figure.
Web Manager Wizard “Step 4: Access” Screen
Use this screen if you want to add or delete user accounts.
The Access screen lists the currently defined Users and has three buttons: “Add,” “Change Password,” and “Delete.”
In the Users list, by default, are two user accounts that cannot be deleted:
Admin
Generic User
The Admin (the “admin” account) has access to all functions of the Web Manager and has access to all ports on the OnSite.
The Generic User defines the KVM port access permissions for all users except the admin and root users. Any new regular user account automatically inherits the KVM port access permissions configured for the Generic User.
For more background about the hierarchy of KVM port permissions, see Understanding KVM Port Permissions and KVM Port Permissions Hierarchy.
If you click the “Add” button, the following screen appears.
The following table defines the information required in the fields.
The choices in the “Group” menu are “Regular User” [Default] or “Admin.” Note: To configure a user to be able to perform all OnSite administration functions, select the “Admin” group. See “Types of Users” on page 18, if needed, for more background.
Optional. The default shell when the user makes a ssh or telnet connection with the switch. Choices are: sh [Default] or bash.
Note: To perform advanced configuration for users and groups, such as, for example, to restrict user access to KVM ports, or to create a group, go to Expert>Configuration >Users and Groups.
If you click the “Change Password” button, the following screen displays.
