2.3.4 Modifying Accounts

modify, and delete user accounts.

2. Click the Settings tab.
The Settings tab appears in the Detail Tabs area ((see Figure 2-10 on page 20).
3. Click the User Accounts button on the left side of the Settings tab:
The Settings tab displays your user account settings (an example is shown in Figure 2-11
on page 21).
4. In the left column, click the user account you want to modify.

Modify Users to allow or deny permission.

in the New Password field, retype the same password in the Confirm New Password
field, and type the user’s current password in the Old Password field.

The user account is modified.
8. To modify more users, repeat steps 4 through 7.
2.3.5 Deleting User Accounts
If you no longer need a user account, use the following procedure to delete it.
No warning message appears prior to deleting a user account. Therefore, be
sure you do not want to keep the account before deleting it.
The admin account cannot be deleted unless at least one additional account
is created with admin and permission to modify user accounts; thereafter,
the admin account can be deleted. However, if you lose the password for
the new account, you may have to contact D-Link Systems Inc technical
support.
