Description of User Configuration Settings

User Setting	Description
Access	Determines whether or not the user account has access to log into the system.
User Name	Set the case-sensitive user name (64 byte maximum supports up to 64 ASCII characters; Less for multi-byte languages). Note: This field can only be set when creating the user. To change the user name after the account has been created, the user would need to be deleted and recreated with the proper value.
New Password	Set the case-sensitive password (64 byte maximum supports up to 64 ASCII characters; Less for multi-byte languages).
Confirm Password	To confirm the new password, enter it again.
User Type	User account type used to determine various access permissions to the system.
User Description	Field used for additional notes to describe this particular user.
Session Timeout	Amount of time (in minutes) the user has before they are logged out due to inactivity.
Serial Remote Authentication Override	Determines whether or not this account can login serially even when the NMC authentication is set to RADIUS.

User Preferences

Setting	Description
Event Log Color Coding	Configure whether text in the event log is color-coded based on event severity.
Export Log Format	Configure which format the event log should be displayed in when exported (downloaded). Tab (default) allows fields to be tab-delimited whereas CSV is comma-separated.
Temperature Scale	Configure which temperature units, Celsius (default) or Fahrenheit, will be displayed throughout this user interface.
Date Format	Select the user interface date format from the drop-down box.
Bad Login Attempts	Number of incorrect login attempts a user has before the system disables their account. Upon reaching this limit, a message is displayed informing the user the account has been locked. The Super User or an Administrator-level account is needed to re-enable the account to allow the user to log back in. Note: A Super User account cannot be locked out, but can be manually disabled if necessary.
Language	Select the user interface display languages from the drop-down box.
Strong Passwords	Configure whether new passwords created for user accounts will require additional rules such as at least one lowercase character, one uppercase character, one number, and one symbol.
Password Policy	Select the duration (in days) to which the user will be required to change their password. A value of 0 days disables this feature (by default).
