Adding User Details: User Properties Tab for Local User
Under User Details, select the user type (Local, LDAP, or Radius User). Superuser can create user accounts. For local
authentication using password, it is necessary to create the user account using this screen before the user can log in.
For a Local User, the superuser must specify the following fields:
Login ID: Login ID of the user.
User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and
their respective rights.
First and Last Name: First and last name of the user.
Locations: The list of locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role.
Password: Initial password of the user (which user can later change on his own).
Confirm Password: Reenter the password to help confirm the password before saving.
Email Address: Email address of the user.
For LDAP and RADIUS Users, creating user accounts using this screen is optional, because the user account gets
automatically created (if not already present) upon the first successful login of the user who is authenticated via
LDAP/RADIUS.
As a general rule, at the time of authenticating a user, the system always checks if the user password is locally
available in the system. If it is not locally available, the system checks if the configuration is provided to access the
LDAP authentication service. If so, the system attempts to verify the user password with the LDAP authentication
service. If the user password is not available with the LDAP service, the system checks if the configuration is
provided to access the RADIUS authentication service. If so, the system attempts to verify the user password with the
RADIUS authentication service. In case of LDAP and RADIUS authentication, the system does not maintain local
copy of the user password.
