Switching the User Access Level to the Management Level
This function is provided for a user to switch the current user level to the management level. Note the
following:
Before switching, make sure that the super password is already configured. A user cannot switch to
the management level without a super password.
The access level switchover of a user is valid for the current login only. The access level configured
for the user is not changed. When the user re-logs in to the Web interface, the access level of the
user is still the original level.
Select Device > Users from the navigation tree, and click the Switch To Management tab to enter the
access level switching page. Type the super password and click Login.
Set the operation type:
Create: Configure or modify the super password.
Remove: Remove the current super password.
Set the password for a user to switch to the management level.
Input the same password again. Otherwise, the system prompts that the two
passwords input are not consistent when you apply the configuration.
Set the password display mode.
Simple: The password will be saved in the configuration file in plain text.
Cipher: The password will be saved in the configuration file in cipher text.
The plaintext password is not safe, and you are recommended to use the
ciphertext password.
