Managing User Accounts

Users need to authenticate as the login to SecureSync. The system administrator is responsible
for maintaining a list of user accounts (user names, passwords etc.) via the MANAGEMENT >
OTHER: Authentication screen of the SecureSync Web UI (HTTP/HTTPS). Note that user
accounts CANNOT be created or edited via CLI commands using telnet or SSH.
To read more about how to login to the Web UI, see "Accessing the Web UI" on page 52.

writing access. You can add additional admin accounts to the pre- installed administrator
