Appliance Users

Administration > General Settings > Users & Authentication > Appliance Users

Use this tab to view and manage user accounts on your network’s appliances. This feature requires admin permissions. All user accounts are listed regardless of whether they are enabled. The table lists two or more user accounts for each appliance in your network or those specifically selected in the appliance tree.

Each appliance automatically provides two default user accounts: admin and monitor. You cannot remove them. However, you can modify and enable/disable these built-in accounts.
You can create user accounts for a specific appliance. Click the edit icon associated with the appliance to access the Appliance Users dialog box, and then click Add. For details, see Appliance Users Dialog Box below.
You can also create additional default user accounts that apply to all appliances in your network by using the User Management template. Click Manage Users with Templates to access this template. For more information, see User Management Template.

Each user account is assigned a capability:

monitor – Supports reading and monitoring all data, in addition to performing all actions. This is equivalent to enable mode privileges in the Command Line Interface (CLI).
admin – Supports full privileges, along with permissions to add, modify, and delete. This is equivalent to configuration mode privileges in the CLI.

Appliance Users Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to view and manage user accounts on an appliance in your network and to view user sessions currently active on that appliance.

The Appliance Users table lists all accounts configured on the appliance, regardless of whether they are enabled. You can modify and enable/disable any user account, but you cannot delete the built-in admin and monitor user accounts.

To add an account, click Add. A row is added to the table. Click in the table cells to enter a username, select admin or monitor capability, and enter and confirm a password. User credentials are case-sensitive. To enable the user account, select the Enabled check box. Finally, click Save.
To delete an account, click X in the last column, and then click Save.

The Active Sessions table lists users currently accessing the appliance and includes details, such as IP address location and login time. You can end a user session by clicking X in the last column.
