Users Accounts and User Groups
Access to ports can be optionally restricted, based on authorizations that an administrator can
assign to custom user groups. Groups can also be authorized to manage power while connected
to devices. The console server has two default users (admin and root) and four pre-defined user
groups: admin, appliance-admin, shell-login-profile and user.
A user account must be defined for each user on the console server or on an authentication
server. The admin and root users have accounts by default, and either administrator can add and
configure other user accounts. Each local user account is assigned to one or more of the user
groups.
