Parameter descriptions:
User Name: The name identifying the user. This is also a link to Add/Edit User.
Password: Type the password. The allowed string length is 0 to 255, and the allowed content is the
ASCII characters from 32 to 126.
Password (again): Type the password again. You must type the same password again in the field.
Privilege Level: The privilege level of the user. The allowed range is 1 to 15. If the privilege level value
is 15, it can access all groups, i.e. that is granted the fully control of the device. But others value need to
refer to each group privilege level. User's privilege should be same or greater than the group privilege
level to have the access of that group. By default, most groups are at privilege level 5 and have
read-only access and privilege level 10 has the read-write access. The system maintenance (software
upload, factory defaults and etc.) need user privilege level 15. Generally, the 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.
