User Manager utility
Usernames, passwords, and permissions, are assigned to users by an AMS Device Manager
administrator, using the User Manager utility on the Server Plus Station. Only a user with AMS
Device Manager System Administration rights can log in to User Manager.
To configure a new user/edit existing user:
1. From the Windows taskbar select:
Start > AMS Device Manager > User Manager
.
2. In the User Manager window click on
Add User
.
The Add User Wizard dialog allows you to:
● select a user type, standard (AMS Device Manager) or Window user.
● enter the username and password, and set permissions
● edit existing users
An AMS Device Manager administrator can configure the user to require a password. The use of
passwords is recommended. A password should be assigned to the ’admin’ username
immediately after installing AMS Device Manager.
Each user is given an AMS Device Manager username and password and required to enter
them when they start AMS Device Manager. Access to functions depends on the level of
permissions granted.
Login types
● standard, local, or domain
A standard user can change their password in AMS Device Manager. A Local or Domain
Windows user cannot change their password using AMS Device Manager and must request
their network administrator to do so.
