User Definition

A user is defined in a user account that consists of a user name, password and, in some cases, other information that can be configured on the unit or on an external authentication server. Users can access resources that require authentication only if they are members of an allowed user group.

A local user is a user configured on a unit. The user can be authenticated with a password stored on the unit or with a password stored on an authentication server. The user name must match a user account stored on the unit, and the user name and password must match a user account stored on the authentication server associated with the user.

Go to User & Authentication > User Definition and select Create New to create new users with the Users/Groups Creation Wizard.

To configure users, go to User & Authentication > User Definition.

Hover over the leftmost edge of the column heading to display the Configure Table icon, which you can use to select the columns to display or to reset all the columns to their default settings. You can also drag column headings to change their order.
