104 Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide • September 2008
Managing User Accounts
Only the Admin account can manage user accounts with the User Account
Administration dialogs. However, any user can modify their own password. To
open the User Account Administration dialogs, open the Switch menu in the
faceplate display, and select User Accounts. A user account consists of the following:
■ Account name or login
■ Password
■ Authority level
■ Expiration date
Switches come from the factory with the following 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, modify
user accounts, and change account passwords. The Admin account can also view
and modify the switch and its configuration with Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007. The
Admin account can not be removed.
Users with Admin authority can view and modify the switch and its configuration
using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007. Users without Admin authority are limited to
viewing switch status and configuration.
The Images account is used to exchange files with the switch using FTP. The Images
account can not be removed.
Note – If the same user account exists on a switch and its RADIUS server, that user
can login with either password, but the authority and account expiration will always
come from the switch database.
