Security - Users
Select the
Users
option on the Security Page to access the
User Security Details
page (FIG. 42). The options on this page allow
authorized users to add/delete/lock User accounts and configure User’s access rights. Locking a user account disables the
account without deleting it.
A
User
represents a single client of the Master, while a
Role
specifies a set of privileges and permissions which can be assigned to a
user. An administrator can assign up to 5 roles to a single user. Any properties possessed by a role are inherited by all of the users
assigned to the role.
Default User Accounts
By default, the NetLinx Master creates the following accounts, access rights, directory associations, and security options:
FTP Security is always enabled on the Masters.
All other security options are
disabled
by default.

NOTE:
You can delete and/or modify the "administrator" user
account to optimize system security. If deleted, you can create a
new user with the "administrator" user name with its own proper
settings, provided LDAP is not enabled.
NOTE:
The "netlinx" user account is compatible with previous
NetLinx Master firmware versions. This account is initially
created by default and can later be deleted or modified.
