Configuring User Accounts | 101
If you have system administrator privileges, you can configure access control to grant or limit
access to specific VTS functions. Each login ID belongs to a group and each group has a
unique set of privileges.
Note VTS provides a user that has administrator privileges. You can log in as admin if no
other administrative user is created on the system. The default password for this user
is virtual.
By default, VTS is a closed system, which means that users are required to authenticate
before they can access the web interface. Access control enables you to establish rights for
specific users or classes of users. You can fine tune control of VTS system resources on a
group-by-group basis. A closed system requires authentication to access resources assigned to
a particular group. You can enable or disable individual rights to resources.
Note In the following procedures, if the Users and Groups and Rights sections of the
Manage Access Control page are not available, you must enable a closed system.
These sections are not displayed if the system is configured as open access.
Enabling a closed system using default users and groups
You can enable a closed system to require authentication. The user can access only the
resources assigned to a particular group. You can enable or disable individual rights to
resources.

all default users, groups, and rights.
