look
login has read access only to the interface. Additional
logins can be created with custom permissions on clusters and global configuration. See “Managing Multiple
Interface Users” on page 56 for a description of the user management interface.
Option
4 Manage users
allows you to create a full access or read only user login for the Administrative Interface in

lost. To add a user login, do the following:

Equalizer Configuration Menu
window, select option 4,
Manage users

printable characters (except spaces) and can be no more than 20 characters in length ( note that spaces are
accepted by the interface, but will not work when attempting to log in ).
