access to the eWEB interface. Sharing user profiles can result in unauthenticated users,
which generates alarms.
Password
This field contains a password with a maximum length of ten characters. Users can
change their own password using the eWEB interface. You can create new users with
default passwords (for example, the same as the user identifier), and request that the
users change their password at first usage.
Note:
Passwords are stored without encryption in the DECT Messenger structure. Therefore,
hackers can retrieve authentication information from the system. Also, table information
can be made available through eWEB (depending on your configuration). Because the
security mechanism is limited, Avaya recommends that you not use any passwords
that are used on other systems that contain secured information. Using identical
passwords across both secured and less-secured environments leads to severe
security exposure. Inform all users of this issue.
Security level
You can use the security level parameter to define a number in the range of 00–99. The
higher the number, the more authority a user is given. The value 99 is the highest level
which gives full access to all menu items, and allows read and edit. This value can be
assigned to top-level administrators. The value 00 is the lowest possible value. Avaya
recommends that you limit the number of initially assigned values to 2 or 3 levels, and
handle increments by 10. Good start values are 20 for low-end users, 40 for mid-range
users, and 60 for administrators. As you become familiar with user patterns, a more
granular level of security can be defined for users.
Note:
The level is related to the values specified in the table of contents of the eWEB module
where a read and edit threshold level is assigned to each individual menu. For example,
a user with level 20 can execute all the functions with level 00 up to 20.
Note:
In the eCONFIG, the level thresholds for the menus are fixed. For all menus, the read
level threshold is 10, and the edit level threshold is 30.
Description
This is a text description of the user, and is for administrative purposes only. The real
name of the user is often stored in this field.
Language
You must enter a four-digit code representing the language for the eWEB module. For
the eCONFIG you must fill in a two-character representation for the language (for
example, EN represents English). If you make a mistake, only menu icons are displayed,
and not the menu items.
