Creating a user account using the appliance Web UI

Prev Next

Follow these steps to add a user account on an appliance using the Web UI.

Note

For a managed appliance, you can perform this procedure on the Central Management System appliance as well as the local appliance. The procedure remains the same. However, you will need to take the additional step to locate the appliance on the Central Management System Web UI. For instructions on locating an appliance on the Central Management System Web UI, see the Central Management System Administration Guide.

Prerequisites

  • Admin access

To add a user account:
  1. Log in to the appliance Web UI.

  2. Click the Settings tab.

    Note

    If the Settings tabs are not visible, select Appliance Settings from the Admin menu, or click the Appliance Settings tab at the top of the page.

  3. Click User Accounts on the sidebar.

  4. Enter the User Name.

  5. Select a role from the Role list.

  6. Enter a case-sensitive user password in the Create Password and Confirm Password boxes.

    Important

    The "Password set" account status is set automatically for new users when creating a user account with the Web UI.

  7. (Optional) For Monitor users only, specify a subnet, subnet mask, and VLAN for the user.

Once the user account is created, the user configuration is displayed in the user account list.
