8.3 Configuring Web User Accounts
Web user accounts define users for the Web interface and CLI. User accounts permit login
access to these interfaces as well as different levels of read and write privileges. Thus,
user accounts prevent unauthorized access to these interfaces, permitting access only to
users with correct credentials (i.e., username and password).
Each user account is based on the following:
Username and password: Credentials that enable authorized login access to the
Web interface.
User level (user type): Access privileges specifying what the user can view in the
Web interface and its read/write privileges. The table below describes the different
types of Web user account access levels:

User User
After you log in to the Web interface, the username is displayed on the toolbar.
If the Web session is idle (i.e., no actions are performed) for more than five minutes, the
Web session expires and you are once again requested to login with your username and
password. Users can be blocked for a period of time upon a user-defined number of
unsuccessful login attempts. Login information (such as how many login attempts were
made and the last successful login time) can be presented to the user.
