Users page

The Users page allows you to create and edit both administrative and local users.
Administrative user accounts on a UTM Firewall appliance allow administrative duties to be spread amongst
a number of different people according to their level of competence and trust. Each administrative user has
a password they use to authenticate when connecting to the Management Console, or via Telnet or SSH.
They also have a number of access controls that modify what they can and cannot do via the Management
Console.
Local user accounts are used to grant PPTP, L2TP, or dial-in access, and access through the access control
Web proxy.
There is one special user, root, who has the role of the final administrative user, or super user. The access
privileges for the root user cannot be lowered, and the root user cannot not be deleted or disabled. You can
disallow telnet or ssh connections using the root account, however.
