The MS888G2 only allows one administrator to configure the switch at one time. If another user
has logged into the switch with the administrator credentials then only the first admin logged in
will be able to configure the switch, the other admin will only be able to monitor the switch. Other
users can also be created to gain access to the switch for monitoring purposes only. In total only
three users can have access to the web management at any one time.
