About User Accounts
Several CiscoWorks network management and application management
operations are potentially disruptive to the network or to the applications
themselves, and must be protected.
To prevent such operations from being used accidentally or maliciously,
CiscoWorks uses a multi-level security system that only allows access to certain
features to users who can authenticate themselves at the appropriate level.
Common Services provides two predefined login IDs:
•
guest—Specify a password during installation. User role is Help Desk.
•
admin—Specify the password during installation. The user role is a
combination of System Administrator, Network Administrator, Network
Operator, Approver, and Help Desk.
The login named admin is the equivalent of a superuser (in UNIX) or an
administrator (in Windows). This login provides access to all CiscoWorks
tasks.
