Users and User Groups
User Account Types
There are three standard local user account types supported on the ACS 6000 console server:
• admin - Performs the initial network configuration. The admin user can configure the console
server and ports. Administrators also configure user and group authorizations.
• root - Has the same permissions as the admin user.
CAUTION: Change the default passwords for root and admin before you put the console server into operation.
• Administrator-added regular users - Have limited access to the Web Manager features based on
the group(s) to which they are assigned. Users can change their own passwords. By default, all
users have access to all enabled ports.
ACS 6000 User Groups
User groups are given access and authorizations either by default or as assigned by an
administrator. The ACS 6000 console server has three default user groups:
•admin
• appliance-admin
•user
Administrators can alter the permissions and access rights of users belonging to the appliance-
admin or user groups or create additional groups with custom permissions and access rights.
Administrators can add, delete or modify permissions and access rights for users from any group at
any time.
If an administrator configures the console server to restrict user access to ports, the administrator
can assign users to groups that are authorized for port access. The administrator can also authorize
groups for power management and data buffer management.
This document and the software refer to users whose accounts are configured on remote
authentication servers as remote users. Remote users do not need local accounts.
