5.6.3 Modify an Existing Account (Administrators Only)
Users with administrative privileges may change all options on all users’ accounts, including their
own. Users without administrative access are prevented from changing anything except their own
password; for details, see 5.6.4 - Change Password (Users with Read/Write access).
To change a user account, log in as an administrator (see 5.1 - Open the Web Interface and Log
In) and:
• Click on the Security tab to display the Security window, as shown below.
• Choose the user name you wish to change from the User drop-down list.
• You may not change a user name for an existing account. Instead, delete the existing account, as
described in 5.6.5 - Delete a User Account (Administrators Only), and then add a user with
the new name (see 5.6.2 - Create a New User Account (Administrators Only)).
• Enter a password for this user in the Password box. The password is case-sensitive and must be
alphanumeric (spaces are allowed). Verify the password by entering it again in the Confirm Pass-
word box.
• Specify the type of access privileges for this user by placing a check mark in the appropriate
Access box:
• Read permits viewing only; users cannot make any changes, except to their own passwords.
• Write (includes Read access) allows access to all functions except other users’ accounts; users
can view data, change configuration settings and change their own passwords.
• Administration (includes Read & Write access) provides full access to all functions, includ-
ing creating and modifying other user accounts.
• Specify whether the Web interface will log off automatically after the computer is idle for a speci-
fied time in the Inactivity Timeout drop-down list. The choices are Never or 1, 2, 5, 15 or 60 min-
utes. This setting is applied to all users.
•Click Apply to make these changes effective. (To cancel the changes, click Reset.)
