User Management

To improve the system security, the administrator should create different account for different user, and assign different permissions to the user. To avoid different people sharing the same user account, we recommend you manage the user accounts periodically.

Add User

The super user and administrator can add new users, and assign different permissions for different users if needed. Perform this task to add an user account.

Steps

1. Enter the User Management module.

2. Click Add User to show user information area.

3. Select the user type from the drop-down list.

   • Administrator — The administrator account has all permissions by default, and can modify the passwords and permissions of all operators and its own.
   • Operator — The operator account has no permission by default and you can assign the permissions manually. An operator can only change the passwords of its own account and the accounts which are added by it.

4. Enter the user name, password, and confirm password as desired.

   The password strength of the device can be automatically checked. We highly recommend you change the password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

   Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user.

5. Check the checkboxes to assign the permissions to the created user.

6. Optional: Click Default Value to restore the default permissions of this user.

7. Click Save.

   Up to 50 user accounts can be added for the client software.

   After created user account successfully, the user account is added to the user list on the Account Management page.

8. Optional: Perform the following operations after the user account is created.

   • Edit User — Click a user from the list to edit the user information.
     • Note: Only the password of the super user can be edited.
   • Delete User — Select the user from the list and click Delete User.
     • Note: You cannot delete the super user.
