Administrator User Privileges
Up to 10 usernames/passwords can be defined for login use via a Telnet, SSH, or
web GUI (for example, HTTP) session on the D9824 receiver.
When logging in via a Telnet, SSH, or HTTP connection, the user must provide a
username and password. The user is granted access only if this username/password
pair exists in the authentication table.
The factory preset "Admin" account has Admin privileges and is allowed to add new
users, delete users, change usernames, and modify its own passwords. Users with
non-Admin privileges (for example, User and Guest) are only allowed to modify
their own passwords.
