GSS Series User Manual

3.2.4 Account

The account configuration is used to create or modify guest and administrator accounts. The

GSS-48T4SFP allows the administrator to create up to 5 guest accounts. Accounts can only

be created by the administrator. When a Guest user logs into the switch they will not be able

to modify any parameters, they will only have read only rights to the switch. A Guest user can

log into the switch and change there own password, but will not be able to modify any other

accounts. The Guest account is purely created for monitoring purposes only. Administrators

have the ability to delete accounts and also change the username and passwords of each

account. The Administrator account can not be deleted.
