Item Descri

tion
User Name
Enter the username of the local user.
The username can contain spaces in the middle. However, the device ignores any
leading spaces in the username.
User Privilege Level
Set the user privilege level of a user. For more information, see "Managing user
levels."
IMPORTANT:
• The user privilege levels apply only to Web, FTP, Telnet, and SSH users.
• Users that use the root virtual device and users that use other virtual devices have
different privilege levels. For more information, see "Web overview."
Service Type
Set the service type that a user can use, including Web, FTP, SSH, Telnet, Terminal,
DVPN, and PPP.
Support for DVPN depends on the device model. For more information, see Table 21.
You must configure a service type for each user for local authentication. Otherwise,
user authentication fails.
Password
Confirm Password
Set and confirm the password. The confirm password must be the same as the
previously set password.
Any leading spaces in the password are ignored.
IMPORTANT:
All local user passwords are displayed and saved in ciphertext.
Password Encryption Set the encryption mode for saving passwords: Reversible or Irreversible.
Virtual Device
Set the virtual device to which a user belongs.
Every time a user logs in through the Web interface, the user logs in to the virtual
device to which the user belongs. When a root virtual device user with privilege level
Configure or Management logs in to the device, the user can log in to another virtual
device by selecting Device > Virtual Device > Virtual Device. The access right of the
user is the same as other virtual device users that have the same privilege level.
