Managing User Accounts

The Admin account is the only user that can manage all user accounts with the
User Account Administration dialogs. The Admin account can create, remove, or
modify user accounts, and change account passwords. The Admin account can
also view and modify the switch and its configuration with SANbox Manager. The
Admin account can not be removed.
Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration
using SANbox Manager. Users without Admin authority are limited to viewing
switch status and configuration.
The Images account can not be removed, and is required for exchanging files with
the switch using FTP.
The factory switch configuration does not enforce user accounts and passwords.
This means that no account name and password are required to add a fabric and
modify switch configurations using SANbox Manager. You can only use the
command line interface to change the enforcement (on or off) of user accounts
and authority. To enforce user accounts and authority, set the UserAuthentication
parameter to True using the Set Setup System command. Refer to ”Set Setup
Command” on page A-49.
