The SMS allows superusers to create and edit multiple device users across many
devices. In addition to assigning usernames and passwords, superusers can specify
whether device users authenticate locally or whether they use a remote server,
such as
RADIUS or TACACS+, to authenticate.
How a device user authenticates indicates the user's role and reflects the authentication
preferences in the device configuration.
To change the password, the
New Password
and
Confirm Password fields must be changed. To change the role, select the radio button associated with
the appropriate role.
