Creating AWMS Users
AWMS installs with only one AMP user—the admin, who is authorized to:
 define additional users with varying levels of privilege, be it manage read/write or monitoring.
 limit the viewable devices as well as the level of access a user has to the devices.
Each general user that you add needs a Username, a Password, and a Role. Use unique and meaningful user
names as they are recorded in the log files when you or other users make changes in AWMS.
The user role defines the user type, access level, and the top folder for that user. User roles are defined on the
AMP Setup > Roles page. Refer to the next procedure in this chapter for additional information, “Creating
AWMS User Roles” on page44.
The admin user can provide optional additional information about the user including the user's real name, email
address, phone number, and so forth.
Perform the following steps to display, add, edit, or delete AWMS users of any privilege level. You must be an
admin user to complete these steps.
1. Go to the AMP Setup > Users page. This page displays all users currently configured in AWMS. Figure 17
illustrates the contents and layout of this page.

2. Select Add to create a new user, select the pencil icon to edit an existing user, or select a user and select
Delete to remove that user from AWMS. When you select Add or the edit icon, the Add User page appears,
illustrated in Figure 18.

3. Enter or edit the settings on this page. Table 18 describes these settings in additional detail.
NOTE: Username and password are not required if you configure AWMS to use RADIUS or TACACS authentication. You do not
need to add individual users to the AWMS server if you use RADIUS or TACACS authentication.
