6. Usernames
By default there is only a single user account, named root, with password
root, which accesses the administrator level. You cannot delete this basic
user account, nor modify its access level. But you can modify its basic
password.

7. Username/Password Characteristics

•
Username: minimum 4 characters, maximum 31 characters
•
Password: minimum 8 characters, maximum 31 characters (all US
printable non white characters from keyboard are valid)
•
There can be up to 3 password entry attempts at login before the
session is terminated
•
Up to 10 unique "local" usernames can be configured on the G350
When you start to use Avaya G250/G350 Manager or the CLI, you must enter a
username. The username that you enter sets your privilege level. The commands
that are available to you during the session depend on your privilege level.
If you use RADIUS authentication, the RADIUS server sets your privilege
level. It is important to note that if the same username is defined locally
on the gateway and in RADIUS that the local username (ID) will take
precedence over username (ID) created on the RADIUS server.
•
You can use Read-only privilege level to view configuration parameters.
•
You can use Read-write privilege level to view and change all
configuration parameters except those related to security. For example,
you cannot change a password with Read-write privilege level.
•
You can use Admin privilege level to view and change all configuration
parameters, including parameters related to security. Use Admin
privilege level only when you need to change configuration that is
