Managing User Access

v1.1, June 2009

Setting Accounts Preferences

You can set various account defaults by selecting Preferences option from the pull-down menu.

Changing User Passwords

There are two ways in which user passwords can be changed in the User security mode. The first
way is for the administrator to change the passwords by selecting Security > User & Group
Accounts and then selecting Manage Users from the pull-down menu. The other and preferred
way is to allow users to change their own passwords. This relieves the administrator from this task
and encourages users to change their passwords on a more regular basis for enhanced security.

Users can use the Web browser and their existing password to log in to https://<ip_addr>/ to
access the Web share listing page. Then select the Password tab, and follow the prompts to set a
new password.
