Types of Users
The KVM/net support three types of users:
• Predefined administrators who can administer the KVM/net and its
connected devices
• Optionally added users who can act as administrators of the KVM/net and
its connected devices
• Optionally added users who can act as administrators of connected devices
or regular users.
As summarized in the following table, two accounts, root and admin, are
configured by default and cannot be deleted. The default “admin” account can
add regular user accounts to allow other users to act as administrators of
connected devices. An administrator can also choose to add regular users to
the “admin” group, which enables the regular users to perform KVM/net
administrative functions. The following table lists the responsibilities of each
type of user and provides the default password for each.
