The user accounts you create in the Configuration utility can have full,
partial, or read-only access to the BIG-IP.
To create user accounts in the Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click User Admin.
The User Administration screen opens.
2. In the Add User section, type the following information.
• User ID
Type the user ID you want to assign the user.
• Password
Type the password you want to assign the user.
• Retype Password
Retype the password you want to assign the user.
3. In the Current Users list, select the access level for the user. The
access levels available are:
• Read Only
This access level allows the user only to view information in the
Configuration utility. Users with this access level do not have
access to Add buttons, certain tab items, Apply buttons, or
Remove buttons.
• Partial Read/Write
In addition to allowing the user to view information, a Partial
Read/Write user can also change the status of node addresses to
either enabled or disabled.
• Full Read/Write
This access level provides the user with full access to all
administrative tasks.
4. After you select the access level for the user, click the Add button.
The Current User list on the User Administration screen contains all users
configured to access the Configuration utility. You can delete any user
added through the Configuration utility by clicking the Remove button next
to the user in the list. The BIG-IP web server administrator account you
created with the Setup utility shows up in this list. However, you cannot edit
or delete this account from the Configuration utility. To edit this account,
you must run the config httpd command line utility. For more information
about this utility, see Chapter 2, Using the Setup Utility.
