Chapter 5:
Managing User Accounts
A user account is required to log into the Avalanche Console. User accounts
allow you to define who can access components and perform tasks. Users will
not be able to access the Console without an account.
There are two types of accounts: Administrator and Normal. An
Administrator account can access and modify all the configurations in
Avalanche. A Normal account is assigned to specific sites or profiles and is
only authorized to view or make changes in his assigned areas.
Upon installation of Avalanche, an Administrator account is created
automatically. This account allows you to create new Administrator or
Normal user accounts and restrict or allow administration of your wireless
network.
NOTE Wavelink recommends that you create a new administrative user.
