c. Control: if set to True, this account has Control-level access. Setting Administrator
to True will automatically set Control to True as well. Setting this to False makes the
account a View-Only account.
d. New Password: account passwords may be up to 24 characters long, are case-
sensitive, and may not contain spaces.
e. Account Status: set the account to Enabled or Disabled. Disabling an account
prevents it from being used to log in, but does not delete it from the account list.
3. Click the Save button when finished.
Account Types:
· Administrator: Administrator accounts (accounts with both Administrator and
Control authority set to True, as above) have full control over all available functions
and settings on the device, including the ability to modify System settings and add,
modify, or delete other users' accounts.
· 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.
