Managing access passwords
You can grant or restrict specific access within the Unified Manager by assigning new users into
user groups using the User Management screens.
This section includes information about the viewing and configuring the user profiles and groups:
• “Viewing the User Manager tabs” on page 122
• “Adding or modifying a user profile” on page 123
• “Setting up callback for a user” on page 127
• “Adding or modifying a group profile” on page 128
• “Adding a Domain User Group profile” on page 131
• “Setting password lockout policy” on page 132
• “Setting password policy” on page 134
The information in this section is found under the Management , User Manager heading.
!
Core system configuration, such as resources and network management should be
restricted to an administrator-level account.
Use the group profiles to define other levels of users with access to the headings that
are specific to their task.
This also helps to prevent overlap programming if more than one person is using the
interface at the same time.
Dial-in access: Restrict this user group to users who require this interface. If modem
access is not required, the modem interface can be disabled to provide further security.
Refer to
“Enabling and disabling the V.90 modem interface” on page 690 .
!
Callback security
If a user is connecting to the system using a V.90 modem, you can enhance your access
security by assigning that person a specific user account that prompts the system to
acknowledge the user, then hang up and dial back the user at a designated telephone
number, before allowing the person to have access to the system.
