▪ This menu will be used for
creating and configuring the
accounts of Service users.
▪ The screenshot is displaying
the initial status after
registering a new u-link system
account. At this time only the
account creator (Administrator)
of this u-link account is
existent.
▪ All users are organized into the
2 groups ‘Administrators’ and
‘Service’. In the Entry-Version
the account creator
automatically is the
Administrator belonging to
group ‘Administrators’.
▪ Each new created user will
become a member of group
‘Service’.
▪ The Administrator is allowed to
fully maintain the account.
▪ A Service user may maintain
the device topology (creating
Routers and user-defined
Ethernet devices) via Menu
‘Device Management’ but may
not maintain users (Menu
‘User Management’ is hidden).
The user who has registered the u-link system account
automatically is the account administrator. You can identify him
with the orange symbol.
This administrator account also can be used for remote access.
A new user can be created via button ‘Add’. Each created user
automatically is member of group ‘Service’.
