The Users Configuration page has the following parameters:

  • User Name: A string identifying the user name that this entry should belong to. The allowed string length is 1 to 31. The valid user name allows letters, numbers and underscores.
  • Password: The password of the user. The allowed string length is 0 to 31. Any printable characters including space is accepted.
  • Privilege Level: The privilege level of the user. The allowed range is 0–15. If the privilege level value is 15, then it can access all groups, that is, it is granted full control of the device, but the other value must refer to each group's privilege level. User's privilege must be same or greater than the group privilege level to have access of that group. By default setting, most groups' privilege level 5 has the read-only access, privilege level 10 has the read-write access, and the system maintenance (software upload, factory defaults, and so on) needs user privilege level 15. Generally, privilege level 15 can be used for an administrator account, privilege level 10 for a standard user account, and privilege level 5 for a guest account.
