Managing System-level user accounts

Managing System-level user accounts

Add or edit System-level user accounts
Manage appliance administrator email notifications
Delete System-level user accounts

System-level user accounts enable users to log in to the System Administration Console to manage appliance settings, such as the appliance host name and network settings. System-level user accounts authenticate users locally on the appliance.

To use an LDAP server for user authentication, see Using an LDAP server for user authentication.

* 
NOTE: You cannot delete the default admin account. You can change the user name of the admin account or disable it on the appliance (LDAP or SAML configuration required). You can also change the admin account password. See Add or edit System-level user accounts. Additionally, if the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, or if you want to link multiple K-Series appliances, use caution when changing the login and password of the admin account. The admin account login names and passwords on all linked appliances and organizations must be the same if you want to switch among them using the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the System Administration Console. The drop-down list shows only those appliances and organizations whose admin account login names and passwords are the same.
