· Control: Control accounts (accounts with only Control set to True) have control over
all settings pertaining to the device's sensors. They can add, modify, or delete
Alarms & Warning Events and notification Actions, and can change the names or
labels of the device and its sensors. 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.

Out hyperlink at the top right-hand corner of the web page, as shown here.
