Managing User Accounts
Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account
Administration dialogs. However, any user can modify their own password. To
open the User Account Administration dialogs, open the Switch menu in the
faceplate display, and select User Accounts.... A user account consists of the
following:
Account name or login
Password
Authority level
Expiration date
Switches come from the factory with the following user accounts:
Account Name
admin
images
The Admin account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the
User Account Administration dialogs. The Admin account can create, remove, or
modify user accounts, and change account passwords. The Admin account can
also view and modify the switch and its configuration with SANsurfer Switch
Manager. The Admin account can not be removed.
Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration
using SANsurfer Switch Manager. Users without Admin authority are limited to
viewing switch status and configuration.
The Images account can not be removed, and is required for exchanging files with
the switch using FTP.
