Set Up Login Accounts
Up to five people (one administrator and four non-administrators) may access the Switch through Web Configurator at any one time.
• An administrator is someone who can both view and configure Switch changes. The default user name for the Administrator is admin. See the default administrator password on the back label of the Switch.
• A non-administrator (user name is something other than admin) is someone who can view and/or configure Switch settings. The configuration right varies depending on the user’s privilege level.
