b. Administrator: if set to True, this account has Administrator-level access to the
unit, and can change any setting.
c. Control: if set to True, this account has Control-level access. (Setting
Administrator to True will automatically set Control to True as well.) Setting this
to False makes the account a View-Only account.
d. New Password: account passwords may be up to 24 characters long, are case-
sensitive, and may not contain spaces or any of these prohibited characters:
$&`:<>[ ] { }"+%@/ ; =?\^|~',
e. Verify New Password: retype the account password from (d), above. Both
fields must match for the password to be accepted.
f. Account Status: set the account to Enabled or Disabled. Disabling an account
prevents it from being used to log in, but does not delete it from the account list.
3. Click the Save button when finished.
Account Types:
Administrator: Administrator accounts (accounts with both Administrator and
Control authority set to True, as above) have full control over all available
functions and settings on the device, including the ability to modify System settings
and add, modify, or delete other users' accounts.
Control: Control accounts (accounts with only Control set to True) have control
over all settings pertaining to the device's sensors. They can add, modify, or
delete Alarms & Warning Events and notification Actions, and can change the
names or labels of the device and its sensors. Control accounts cannot, however,
modify System settings or make changes to other users' accounts.
View: If both Administrator and Control are set to False, the account is a View-
Only account. The only changes a View-Only account is permitted to make are
changing their own account's password, and changing the preferred language for
their own account. View-Only accounts cannot change any device or system
settings.
Guest: Anyone who brings up the unit's web page without logging in will
automatically be viewing the unit as Guest. By default, the Guest account is a
View-Only account, and cannot make changes to any settings, although the
Administrator can elevate the Guest account to Control-level access if desired,
allowing anyone to make changes to names, labels, alarm events, and
notifications without logging in. The Guest account cannot be deleted.
Note: Once a user has logged in to their account, they can change their password or
language preference by clicking their username, shown next to the Log Out hyperlink
at the top right-hand corner of the web page, as shown here:
