3.4 Authorization
Four user categories have been predefined for the LHMI and the WHMI, each with
different rights and default passwords.
The default passwords in the protection relay delivered from the factory can be changed
with Administrator user rights.
User authorization is disabled by default for the LHMI and can be enabled
with the Local override parameter via the LHMI path Main Menu/
Configuration/Authorization. WHMI always requires authentication.
