and the password is password. You cannot modify or delete
the user name for the default administrative account, but you can

Users have access to one or more assigned partitions, as well as
portions of the Operations and Reports menus. Users cannot access
the Setup and Tools menus. Users can perform functions within a
partition (such as performing cartridge and tape drive operations),
but cannot perform operations that affect the physical library (such as
creating or deleting partitions).
•
Service users have access to the entire physical library and all of its
partitions as well as to a hidden
Service menu that includes service
and diagnostic tools. Each library has only one service user account.
Details on user privileges include:
• The library can contain eighteen user accounts (user or
administrative or both), including the default administrative user
account.
• Eighteen user (user or administrative or both) sessions can be active
at one time.
• The same user can be logged in from multiple locations.
• Clicking the close button (
X) in the upper-right corner of the web
client closes the browser window but does not log the user or
administrative user out.
• All users are logged out automatically after a configurable period of
inactivity. The default timeout period is 30 minutes, but users with
administrative privileges can change this to a value from 15 minutes
to 480 minutes (eight hours). See Configuring System Settings
on
page 118.
• A screen saver is invoked after 10 minutes of inactivity on the
operator panel. After an hour of inactivity, the screen will appear
black. If the user has not been logged out for inactivity, touching the
operator panel will reactivate it, returning the user to the screen last
in use. (The web client does not use a screen saver.)
• An administrative user can disable any access to the library from the
web client. For more information, see Configuring System Settings
on
page 118.
