SmartNA-X Administration

Managing local users

Local users are directly authenticated by the device, rather than by an external RADIUS/TACACS+ Authentication
Server. When setting up a local user, you need to provide a username, a password, and an authorization level, either
Administrator, Operator, or Auditor. The authorization level is a security feature which limits the user to certain
management functionality, as follows:
• Administrators have full access to all system and port settings.
• Operators have access to port settings only.
• Auditors have read-only access to system and port settings.
Local users are managed from the Local Users list, which is accessible from the Security tab after clicking Configure
local users.
