8.3.2 Advanced User Accounts Configuration
The Web Users table lets you configure advanced Web user accounts. This configuration
is relevant only if you need the following management schemes:
Enhanced security settings per Web user (e.g., limit session duration)
More than two Web user accounts (up to 10 Web user accounts)
Master users
Notes:
• Only the Security Administrator user can initially access the Web Users table.
Admin users have read-only privileges in the Web Users table. Monitor users have
no access to this table.
• Only Security Administrator and Master users can add, edit, or delete users.
• For advanced user accounts, up to five users can be concurrently logged in to the
Web interface, and they can be the same user.
• If you delete a user who is currently in an active Web session, the user is
immediately logged off by the device.
• All user types can change their own passwords. This is done in the Web Security
Settings page (see ''Configuring Web Security Settings'' on page 71).
• To remove the Web Users table and revert to the Web User Accounts page with
the pre-configured, default Web user accounts, set the ResetWebPassword ini file
parameter to 1. This also deletes all other Web users.
• Once the Web Users table is accessed, Monitor users and Admin users can
change only their passwords in the Web Security Settings page (see ''Configuring
Web Security Settings'' on page 71). The new password must have at least four
different characters than the previous password. (The Security Administrator users
and Master users can change their passwords in the Web Users table and in the
Web Security Settings page.)
The following procedure describes how to configure Web users in the Web interface. You
can also configure this using the CLI command configure system > create-users-table.
To add Web user accounts with advanced settings:
1. Open the Web Users Table page:
• Upon initial access:
a. Open the Web User Accounts page (Configuration tab > System menu >
Web User Accounts).
b. Under the Web Users Table group, click the Create Table button.
• Subsequent access: Configuration tab > System menu > Web User Accounts.
The Web Users table appears, listing the two default, pre-configured Web use
accounts - Security Administrator ("Admin") and Monitor ("User"):
