Overview of Administrator User Accounts

Your WAAS system comes with an administrator account already created that you can use to access the

WAAS Central Manager GUI as well as the WAAS CLI. This account has a username of admin and a

password of default. You can use the WAAS Central Manager GUI to change the password of this

account.

If you want to create additional administrator user accounts, see Table 1-1 for a description of the two

types of accounts you can create from the WAAS Central Manager GUI.
