H A P T E R
An account is a user with permissions inherited from the associated group. "Root"
is the predefined administrator belonging to the Super group. Only "root" or any
accounts belonging to Super group can do everything including managing the
Vantage CNM system. Custom administrators have no predefined permissions.
Administrators should periodically change their passwords. The "root"
Administrator can also enforce periodic Administrator password changes in the
Users Change Password Period field in the CNM System Setting > User
Access screen.

The default system name (and password) when you first log in is "root". This is a
default system Administrator account, which cannot be deleted by anyone from
the system. root's details are viewable by others, but not editable.

Only root can change his/her own personal information except for UID (User
