User Accounts

To access the NMC, a login with a user name and a password is always required. Both the user name and the password are case sensitive and can consist of maximum 64 characters.

There are different user types with different access levels:

Super user: Both CLI and GUI access. Full access to all menus and options. Can add new users and manage other users.
Administrator: Both CLI and GUI access. Full access to all menus and options. Can add new users.
Device manager: Both CLI and GUI access. Can only access the log options, event and system menu.
Read-only user: Only GUI access. Can view the same menus as the device manager but cannot configure, delete data, or use FTP options.
Network-only user: Only remote access to the CLI and GUI. Can only access the network settings.

NOTE: Menus and options that a user does not have access to will appear grayed out.
