EPICenter Access Roles
The EPICenter server provides four predefined roles that define levels of access to EPICenter functions:
The access for each of these roles can be specified on a feature-by-feature basis. With the exception of
the Disabled role, access to EPICenter features can be changed or disabled per feature (see
“Adding or
Modifying a Role” on page 357 ). An EPICenter Administrator can also create new roles as needed.
These roles can have any combination of access to features. While access to EPICenter features can be
changed or disabled for the Administrator role, the administrator’s ability to create, modify, and delete
user accounts and roles cannot be changed.
The four predefined roles cannot be deleted.
In addition to modifying EPICenter feature access through roles, an Administrator can disable access to
individual EPICenter features on a global basis. When a feature is globally disabled, it cannot be
enabled for any roles. See
“Features Properties” on page 364 for information on globally enabling or
disabling EPICenter features.
The EPICenter server provides two default users:
The two default users do not initially have passwords. All other user names must be added and enabled
by an Administrator user.
Regardless of your access role, you can run the Administration applet to change your own password.
Users with an Administrator role can add and delete users and assign user access levels.
NOTE
The EPICenter user accounts are separate from the Extreme switch user accounts. You can configure both through
the EPICenter software, or you can have switch access independently of the EPICenter software.
ExtremeWare Software Access
Through the EPICenter software, three levels of access to Extreme switches can be enabled:
Administrator Users who can create, modify, and delete user accounts, and can create or modify roles.
By default Administrators also have read/write access to all other EPICenter features,
enabling them to modify device parameters as well as view status information and
statistics.
Manager Users who, by default, have read/write access to all EPICenter features (but do not have
Administrator capabilities). They can modify device parameters as well as view status
information and statistics.
Monitor Users who, by default, have read-only access to EPICenter features—they can view
status information and statistics.
Disabled Users whose account information is maintained, but who do not have EPICenter access.
