Security : User Information

This page allows you to add users to the system, remove users from the system, and assign user capabilities. To enable system security, use this page to add a user with Administrator, Identity, Firmware, and Write capabilities, and then go to the User Manager screen to enable the security features.

If a user has Write, SNMP, Ident, Firmware, or Admin capabilities, an X appears under those headings. When you click on a name in the user list, the User Management window appears. Use the User Management window to change user capabilities or remove users from the system.

Note When adding a user with SNMP capability, the user name is also the SNMP community name.

Capability Settings

  • Write -- Allows the specified user to change system settings. When you assign Write capability to a user, the user also automatically receives Admin capability.
  • SNMP -- Designates the specified username as an SNMP community name. The user uses this SNMP community name to perform SNMP operations. SNMP operations performed by the user are restricted according to the user's assigned capabilities.
Note -- The User Manager does not have to be enabled for SNMP communities to operate correctly.
  • Ident -- Allows the specified user to change the access point's identity settings (MAC address, IP address, and SSID). When you assign Ident capability to a user, the user also automatically receives Write and Admin capabilities.
  • Firmware -- Allows the specified user to update the access point's firmware. When you assign Firmware capability to a user, the user also automatically receives Write and Admin capabilities.
  • Admin -- Allows the specified user to view all sensitive system screens and, with write capability, to make changes to the system.
