Managing users and privileges
The unit allows access from multiple users, each of which can be assigned a different set of privileges permitting or restricting access to the unit.
The first step to managing users is to create one or more profiles. Profiles define what privileges can be assigned to users. For example, one profile named Test Author might provide access to the Test configuration and Test and data control areas of the interface and another named Operator might allow only controlling test runs from the Test Control page. Each profile can be assigned to multiple users. In the previous example, there might be one test author and four operators, each with their own user account and credentials.
In addition, each user has individual control over the web interface through User preferences which follow the user no matter the machine or browser used to log on. Select User options > Preferences to view User Preferences.

Navigate to the Profiles page under System Configuration.
To create a profile, click New. Enter the profile name, select the desired privileges and click
Save.

Navigate to the Users page under System Configuration.
To add a new user, click New. Enter the desired values for the user parameters and click
Save.
- User name: The user name must be unique and is case sensitive. User names cannot be changed.
- Full name: The user's full name to be displayed in the users list.
- Password: A password is required. A password can be any combination of letters, numbers or special characters and is case sensitive. The entered password is masked for security. By default, the minimum password length is eight (8) characters. Users with appropriate privileges can change the minimum length in System preferences. Passwords never expire.
- Profile: A profile that has been previously created on the Profiles page. Only one profile can be assigned to a user.

The unit comes factory set with one user account and one profile with complete administrator privileges. This default user comes with the credentials:
- User name: admin
- Password: password
It is strongly recommended to change this password. The default user and profile cannot be deleted.
If an administrator's credentials are lost or forgotten, there is a reset procedure that restores the default user and profile. No other users or profiles are affected. To perform the reset:
- Save all changes and ensure that there are no other users on the system.
- Switch off the unit by pressing the power switch and wait for the unit to completely power down.
- Press and hold the power switch.
- When the LEDs begin to flash, quickly release the power switch.

If user control is not needed, deselect the Authentication required option in User section of the System preferences. The default user must have the default password to use this setting.
