Basic user management
You can configure three types of users in the device:
• Super user—A super user has admin access privileges and can view, edit and delete all
configurations. Only a super user can create new users. You must have a super-user account to
make further administrative changes.
• Read-only user—A read-only user has only view permissions and all the configuration buttons
including new, edit and delete are disabled.
• Role-based user—A role-based user has permissions to perform certain operations based on
their roles.
Managing role-based users
As a role-based user, a user can be assigned with three different roles:
• Manager—A user defined under manager role has view, edit, and delete permissions.
• Operator—A user defined under operator role has read-only permissions.
• Viewer—A user defined under viewer role has read-only permissions.
There are two types of configurations in the device.
• Global configuration—It refers to Layer 2, Layer 3, and other miscellaneous configurations on
the device.
• Context-related configurations—It includes real server, virtual server, content switching,
openscript, and session. In general, all the traffic-related configurations are related to context.
In the role-based configuration, you can assign the user with different combination of roles for
global configurations and context-related configurations. For example, you can assign manager role
for global configuration and viewer role for context-related configurations.
To create a user on the device, perform the following steps with the Configure tab.
1. Click System on the menu bar.
2. From the sidebar, select User Management.
