Configuring local users
You can configure up to 16 local users in CMC with specific access privileges. Before you create a CMC local user, verify if any current users exist. You can set user names, passwords, and roles with the privileges for these users. The user names and passwords can be changed using any of the CMC–secured interfaces such as, web interface, RACADM, and WS-MAN.
