Adding a New User
TIP: For a quicker configuration, it is recommended to define all roles and permissions before defining users.
1. Select the Users option (in the Security section) to view the User Security Details page.
2. Click the Add User button (see FIG. 42) to access the Add New User page (FIG. 43).
3. In the User Name field, enter a unique name for the new role.
The name must be a unique alpha-numeric character string (4 - 20 characters), and is case sensitive.
The words "administrator" and "NetLinx" cannot be used since they already exist by default.
NOTE: The Type field indicates the type of account for the user. This field lists either Normal or Device. Normal users are any users
which access the web interface, Telnet, or NetLinx Studio, and must be assigned to a Role with those permissions assigned to it.
Device connections are required for machine to machine over ICSP, such as touch panels and ICSLan device control boxes.
Device-type users are stored only in the local user database and are able to be modified even when a remote directory service is
enabled.
4. From the Roles options menu, choose from a list of roles and associate the rights of the role to the new user. You can assign
up to 5 roles to a user.
5. Enter a user password in both the Password and Password Conf irm fields. The password must conform to the rules set by the
Password Complexity level set on the User account. See the Password Rules section on page 42 for more information.
6. Select Force Password Change if you want the user to change its password on its next login. This option is not available for
Device users.
7. Click the Accept button to save your changes to the Master.
NOTE: Any security changes made to the Master from within the web browser are instantly reflected within a Terminal session without
the need to reboot, unless otherwise notified.
