session per administrative account is supported, regardless of
Role.
You can update administrator accounts, add new accounts and
delete any account except for the three preconfigured accounts
and (if different) the only remaining account with a
Role of
administrator (refer to Section 2.2.3).
You can reconfigure the Role of any administrative account,
including the preconfigured accounts.
If you downgrade the role of the Administrator-level account
you are currently logged on through, you will be able to finish
the session with full permissions. The role change takes effect
when you next log on to the account.
At least one enabled Administrator-level account must be
present on the Mesh Point at all times. You will not be allowed
to reconfigure the Role of an Administrator-level account if it is
the only such account on the Mesh Point.
