User Account Information

Multi-Port Monitor provides default user accounts with different product permissions and different roles. The product permissions of the default accounts allow for two different levels of access to the web interface.

User permission level

View-only access to the System Status and Analysis pages.

Administrator permission level

Access to all product features.

The role that is assigned to each user account determines the web pages and product features that the user can access.

When Multi-Port Monitor is a monitoring device for CA Application Delivery Analysis, the administrator can create and modify accounts in the management console or in CA Performance Center. These accounts are synchronized and displayed on the Multi-Port Monitor web interface. You can view details about user accounts at Administration, Users.
