prompting you for a role in future logons.
4. Click Log On. The Portal appears.
In the future, your VCM user account may have multiple roles. At that time, if you have the Automatically
log on using this role option checked, VCM will automatically log you on as the User Role displayed on
the Logon screen. To change roles, you must use the Logoff button in the top right corner of the Console.
This action will return you to the Logon screen so you can use the drop-down menu to select a different
role.
