UNDERSTANDING FLEXWAVE EMS USER ACCOUNTS
The EMS provides security, which can be broadly classified as:
• User Authentication, which defines the way a user is identified prior to being
allowed to log on to the EMS. User Authentication ensures that only known
users have access by providing a method of identifying each user through a
user ID and password.
• User Authorization, which involves managing the user’s privileges in the Prism
network management infrastructure. Authorization is based on the concept of
user access system configuration restrictions.
There are three user-access accounts that can be assigned by the admin:
• admin—the default user account that has unrestricted access to all EMS user
accounts and management capabilities. To protect against unauthorized access
to the Prism network, the user assigned the admin role should follow the
process described in
“Change Your Personal Password” on page 210 to change
the password for the admin user account.
• Network Manager—has read and write access to all system functions except
user account management.
• Network User—has read only permissions into the system.
There are also two default user-access accounts for the Remote that cannot be
deleted or changed:
• operator—is only supported on the Craft interface of a Remote, and provides
Read Only access to most of the Prism Remote functions. However, the operator
login can be only to change the Remote Capacity setting (see
“Set the Capacity
for a New Remote Unit RSI Board” on page 162).
• viewer—has Read Only rights for Prism and URH Remotes.
FlexWave EMS prevents a login in which the user enters an invalid User ID or
password.
Table 24 lists the default user accounts and passwords.
