This page provides the administrator a way to give users access to the management interface of the

to a group and a privilege level from 1 through to 15 can be assigned to each group.
Web Interface
To configure the Privilege Level settings via the Web Interface:
1. Click System, Account and Privilege Level.
2. Specify the privilege level for each of the groups.
3. Click Apply to save your changes.
Parameter Description
Group Name: The group name in which a privilege level can be assigned to.
Privilege Levels: The privilege levels can be set from 1 through to 15. Level 15 is the highest
level and will give you read/write access to the entire system. Each group
can have a privilege level assigned. For a user to have access to that the
group their privilege level must be equal or greater than the group value. By
default every group is set to level 10 except the maintenance group which is
set to 15. When creating users, guest users would be set to privilege level 5,
standard users to 10 and administrators to 15. Guests will then have read
only access to the system, standard users can do everything except
maintenance tasks and the administrator will have full control of the switch.
