■ If you choose to change the authentication method from “RADIUS” to “Local,”
the password has to be set explicitly for all users before the users can log in.
User Accounts
OmniVista SafeGuard Manager users can be one of the following types:
■ Monitor—users designated with the role of monitors can only view data; they are
not allowed to change any data or execute any commands. The Monitor role
cannot create, modify, or add users or change a user’s role. Action buttons are
disabled for this role.
■ Configurator—users designated with the role of configurators can view data as
well as change data and also execute commands. However, they cannot create,
modify, or add users. They also cannot change a user’s role.
■ Administrator—users designated with the role of administrators can view and
edit data, as well as execute commands. They can create, modify, and add users
and also change a user’s role, if needed.
There are two types of administrator login settings: Standard or Dual-admin. The
Standard administrator login requires a single password and login. The Dual-
admin or 4-Eye admin cannot log in to the client on their own but can enable
another administrator role to enter the 4-Eye mode. For more information on the
dual-admin role, see Enabling Dual-Admin or 4-Eye Mode.
NOTE: Whenever, the authentication method is changed from
“RADIUS” to “Local,” all user accounts, except the admin account,
are put in a “disabled” state. These accounts will stay in a disabled
state unless the administrator resets the passwords for these accounts.
For more information on enabling accounts, see Modifying Your
Password.
