User accounts

This page lists all user accounts on this server. Named accounts are listed first, followed by the guest account.

Named accounts. Accounts can be created for up to ten users. Click on 'Create new user' to create an account (note: this link will not be available if ten accounts already exist). Existing accounts can be renamed and deleted, and their permissions and passwords may be changed.

Guest account. The guest account is active by default if no user has logged in. This account cannot be renamed or deleted and it has no password. Guest permissions are set to 'admin' upon factory reset; this should be changed to a more restrictive level if security is a concern. When changing permissions or deleting users, if no users have Admin permission, then the guest account will be automatically promoted to Admin.

Fields and controls

Username is the case-sensitive account name used for login. To rename a user, edit the username and click 'Submit'. Note: the access log is not updated when a username is changed.

Password is the user's login password. The number of characters in the password does not match those displayed in the field. To change the password, type a new password in the field and click 'Submit'. The password 'password' is not allowed.

Permission specifies the user's access authority. The select box lists all available permissions in order of increasing authority; each listed permission includes the authorities of all permissions above it. The guest user also includes a permission 'None', to disallow guest access.

- To delete a user account, check this box and click 'Submit'.
