Control accounts cannot, however, modify System settings or make changes to other users'
accounts.
·
View
: If both Administrator and Control are set to False, the account is a View-Only account. The
only changes a View-Only account is permitted to make are changing their own account's
password, and changing the preferred language for their own account. View-Only accounts
cannot change any device or system settings.
·
Guest
: Anyone who brings up the unit's web page without logging in will automatically be viewing
the unit as Guest. By default, the Guest account is a View-Only account, and cannot make
changes to any settings, although the Administrator can elevate the Guest account to Control-
level access if desired, allowing anyone to make changes to names, labels, alarm events, and
notifications without logging in. The Guest account cannot be deleted but can be disabled to
require login for viewing system status.
