User Management

The User Management option lets you manage different users with varying access privileges. You can assign different users to different device groups and IP groups, and allow them to manage the assigned groups exclusively. You can choose from three types of users in NetFlow Analyzer - Administrator, Operator, and Guest.

Click on the user name at any time on the User Management page to view the corresponding user name, access level, and assigned device groups, IP groups and Interface Groups.

Changing User Passwords

Only an Administrator user can reset the password of any other user. To assign a new password to a user, click on the icon or the Assign New link.
Enter a new password, confirm it, and click the Update button for the new password to take effect.

If you have logged in as an Admin user, you can change your own password in the same way as described above. If you have logged in as an Operator user or a Guest user you can change your password by selecting the Change Password option in the Admin Operations menu.

Editing User Details

Click on the icon against a user, to edit the user's details.

You can only modify the device groups and IP groups which have been assigned to the user. You cannot modify the user name or the access level, irrespective of your own access level.

Once you are done, click the Update button to save your changes.

Deleting a User

Click the icon against a user name to delete the respective user. Once a user is deleted, all details of this user are permanently deleted.
