How Do I Manage User Security?
Note Do not change the Cisco MGM passwords at the same time in the Change Password dialog box.
It is possible to set up the user account such that the change password function is disabled. See the
description of the Password Change field in 8.3.4.3 Creating a Cisco MGM User, page 8-18.
8.3.4.11 Setting User Preferences
Use the User Preferences dialog box to configure the Cisco MGM user interface.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer window, choose Edit > User Preferences. The User Preferences dialog box
opens. Table 8-15 describes the fields in the dialog box.
Step 2 After specifying the settings, check the Save current settings check box to preserve the current settings
even after logging out. Users with the appropriate privileges can check the Save as the default user
template check box to save the current settings as the default for new users who are added in the future.
Current users who have not altered their default settings adopt the new default settings when they log
out.
Step 3 Click OK to save the settings. After you save the selections, all subsequent views use the saved
preferences.
