To ensure the controlled and secured access to reader Administrator Console functions, designate which
users and computers are authorized to have system access by setting up authorized user accounts. Only
users logging in with a registered user name and password can successfully access
Administrator Console
functions.
FX Series User Accounts
The FX Series supports the following user accounts:
• admin - This user has web access but no shell access, with full privileges to make changes on the
reader using the Administrator Console interface and to access to the reader using the FTP
interface.
• guest - This user has web access but no shell access, with read-only privileges in the
Administrator Console and can not make configuration changes. The guest user does not need a
password to log in to the Administrator Console.
• rfidadm - This is the reader administrator, with shell access but no Administrator Console access.
rfidadm has full access to the /apps directory and read-only access to most of the other
directories, including the /platform, /usr, /lib, /etc, and /bin directories. The rfidadm user can use
this account to install and uninstall RFID programs and upload user applications.
