Add and remove user accounts

ipMonitor supports two types of user accounts:

• Windows account
• Standard ipMonitor account

A Windows account requires a domain name and user name. A standard ipMonitor account only requires a password.

You can configure the access level for both accounts in the Permissions section. Below is a description of each access level.

Access level	Permissions
Administrator	Full access to all ipMonitor features Administrate users and credentials
Standard User	Can perform actions such as read, write, create, and delete data based on the permissions you assign to the account in the Advanced menu
Guest	Read or view data only Cannot modify any setting

When you add a new user and select an access level, ipMonitor provides a list of default settings in the Advanced menu. You can accept the default settings or modify as required.
