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
McDATA Web Server. The Admin account can not be removed.
Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration using McDATA Web
Server. Users without Admin authority are limited to viewing switch status and configuration.
The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using FTP. The Images account can not be
removed.
NOTE: If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user can login with either
password, but the authority and account expiration will always come from the switch database.
