The
User Management
section allows Super Administrators, and
Administrators and Users who have been given
User Management
permission, to add/edit accounts on the KVM switch. If an account
has not been given
User Management
permission, the
User
Management
icon will not show up in the OSD when they log in. The
User Management
section is displayed differently when accessing
the OSD via web browser or one of the non-browser clients. The web
browser version contains two sub-sections, one for
Accounts
and one
for
Groups
. The non-browser version contains one section, in which
both User accounts and
Group
accounts are displayed in the list on the
left side of the screen. The non-browser version also includes filtering
options below the User/Group list.
Note
: Administrators with User
Management permission can only add/edit Administrator and User
accounts. Users with User Management permission can only add/edit
User accounts. Super Administrators can add/edit all account types.

that can be used to set up the KVM switch. The default Super
Administrator username is

Users
from the list on the left side of the page, and
then click the
Add
button at the bottom of the screen. The user
information page opens.

creating, and click the
Save
button when you are done. The contents
of the user information screen and their meanings are described in
the table below.
