18.1 About Users
In versions before XOa 3, it was possible to have two or more users with the same username (for example
Administrator). Also, it was possible to have usernames that contain only digits.
As of version XOa 3, usernames must be alphanumeric (= must contain at least one letter), and each
username must be unique.
The following user types exist, each with different access rights:
 Administrator: has full access rights.
 User: has specific rights, adjustable per user.
 Technician: has specific rights, adjustable per user. Technicians can only log on if an Administrator or
another user has granted them access.
You can create up to 32 users. The following default users are pre-defined:

For security reasons, it is strongly recommended to change the passwords of the default users. See
Modifying or Deleting an Existing User on page 139.
18.2 About Strong Passwords
To increase security, you can choose to use strong passwords. Strong passwords have to meet minimum
requirements:
 The password has to contain at least 8 characters.
 The password has to contain at least 1 capital letter and at least 1 small letter.
 The password has to contain at least 1 digit.
Examples of strong passwords are:
 Tmus001cl
 12rtSV5km
 aiGP5rsLZa89
Furthermore, you can set an expiry time (in days) for the password. The user then has to change the
password before it expires. Finally, you can limit the number of retries to log on. When the user has reached
the maximum number of retries, the system temporarily blocks the user account. You specify how long (in
seconds) the user account is blocked.
The default values of strong passwords are:
