Administering EPICenter

EPICenter Access Roles

The EPICenter server provides four predefined roles that define levels of access to EPICenter functions:
Administrator
Manager
Monitor
Disabled
The access for each of these roles can be specified on a feature-by-feature basis. With the exception of
the Disabled role, access to EPICenter features can be changed or disabled per feature (see
Modifying a Role" on page
These roles can have any combination of access to features. While access to EPICenter features can be
changed or disabled for the Administrator role, the administrator's ability to create, modify, and delete
user accounts and roles cannot be changed.
The four predefined roles cannot be deleted.
In addition to modifying EPICenter feature access through roles, an Administrator can disable access to
individual EPICenter features on a global basis. When a feature is globally disabled, it cannot be
enabled for any roles. See
disabling EPICenter features.
The EPICenter server provides two default users:
admin
user
The two default users do not initially have passwords. All other user names must be added and enabled
by an Administrator user.
Regardless of your access role, you can run the Administration applet to change your own password.
Users with an Administrator role can add and delete users and assign user access levels.
NOTE
The EPICenter user accounts are separate from the Extreme switch user accounts. You can configure both through
the EPICenter software, or you can have switch access independently of the EPICenter software.
ExtremeWare Software Access
