Creating and Managing User Accounts
Step 9 Assign roles to this new account as described in the “Working with Roles” section on page 1-9 and assign
domains as described in the “Working with Domains” section on page 1-14.
Modifying and Deleting User Accounts
Note Modifying a user account from the CLI does not update the Centralized Management System (CMS)
database and the change will not be reflected in the Central Manager GUI.
To modify an existing user account, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Admin > AAA > Users.
The User Accounts window appears.
Step 2 Click the Edit icon next to the user account that you want to modify.
The Modifying User Account window appears. You can delete or edit user accounts as follows:
Note This window can only be accessed by users with administrator-level privileges.
• To delete the user account, click the Delete icon in the taskbar, and then click OK to confirm the
deletion.
If the local user account was created using the WAAS Central Manager GUI, the corresponding user
account is removed from the CLI and is also deleted from all standby WAAS Central Managers.
Note Deleting a user account from the CLI does not disable the corresponding user account in the
CMS database. Consequently, the user account remains active in the CMS database. User
accounts created in the WAAS Central Manager GUI should always be deleted from the
WAAS Central Manager GUI.
• To edit the user account, make the necessary changes to the username and account information, and
click Submit.
Changing the Password for Your Own Account
If you are logged in to the WAAS Central Manager GUI, you can change your own account password if
you meet the following requirements:
• Your account and password were created in the WAAS Central Manager GUI and not in the CLI.
• You are authorized to access the password window.
Note We do not recommend changing the local CLI user password from the CLI. Any changes to local CLI
user passwords from the CLI are not updated in the management database and are not propagated to the
standby WAAS Central Manager. Therefore, passwords in the management database will not match a
new password configured in the CLI.
