User Account Administration

This chapter explains the different security levels that ViewRunner for Windows provides, how to log onto the system initially, and how to define users and set up passwords.

4.1 Security Levels

ViewRunner for Windows provides three levels of security:

Administrator - These profiles have read-write access to the Cisco 6100, can make changes to the system, and can set up additional users and passwords.
Operator - These profiles have read-write access to the Cisco 6100 and can make configuration changes, but cannot set up additional users or change passwords.
User - These profiles have read-only access to the Cisco 6100 and cannot make any Cisco 6100 system configuration changes.

All levels of security can use ViewRunner for Windows to do the following:

Discover (identify) Cisco equipment
Collect configuration and status information about the Cisco 6100

Note Only administrator and operator IDs can use ViewRunner for Windows to add, delete, or change configuration information about the equipment in the Cisco 6100 system.
