Avocent 3016 Switch User Manual


 
42 AutoView 3008/3016 Switch Installer/User Guide
Setting up user accounts
When you select the Users category, the OBWI will retrieve and display a list of usernames and
current access levels from the AutoView switch. From here, you can add, modify or delete users
and assign access levels. The User Administrator and Appliance Administrator access levels allows
you to assign individual server access rights.
NOTE: Preemptions listed in the previous table only apply to remote clients. They do not apply to users
accessing the server locally.
Users can become locked out by the Security Lock-out feature if they try to enter an invalid
password five consecutive times. You can configure Security Lock-out settings as well as unlock
any user through the User category.
Modifying users
To add or modify a user:
1. Click the Configure tab in the OBWI, then click the Users category in the left column.
