User settings
User settings involve several areas:
 User authentication: whether authentication is required for users accessing the Digi
device, and the information required to access it.Depending on the Digi product,
multiple users and their authentication information can be defined. User authentication
settings are on the Users settings page.
 User access settings: the device interfaces that a user can access, such as the command
line or web interface.
 User permissions settings: the permissions a user has to access and configure the Digi
Connect device.
 Several settings on the Network Configuration pages are available to further secure the
Digi device. For example, unused network services can be disabled on the Network
Services page.
About user models and user permissions
Several user models are implemented in the Digi Connect Family products:
 Two-user model
 More than two-user model
To determine which user model is implemented:
 In the web interface, if the menu includes Users, the Digi Connect device uses either the
two-user model or the more than two users model.
 In the command-line interface, issue a show user or set user command. In the
command output, note how many user IDs are defined: one, two, or more than two. Or,
issue a set user ? command and note the range for the id=range option. If the id=range
is not listed, there is only one user. Otherwise, the range for user IDs is displayed. These
commands are described in the Digi Connect Family Command Reference.
Two-user model
 User 1 has a default name of root. This user is also known as the administrative user.
 User 1 has default permissions that enables it to issue all commands.
 Permissions for User 1 can be changed to be less than the default root permissions.
 User 2 is undefined. That is, it does not exist by default, but it can be defined.
 When defined, User 2 has a limited set of permissions, defined by the User Permissions
settings in the web interface, or the set permissions command in the command-line
interface (see the Digi Connect Family Command Reference for command description).
 Permissions for User 2 can be changed to be either greater than or less than its default.
Caution Exercise caution in setting permissions for devices with this user model. A
user cannot set another user's permission level higher than their own
permission level, nor can a user raise their own permission level.
