The setting of the User Type property determines the type of access
users have.
- Normal: can access the console using a web client. They
can make changes to the system based on their access group membership
and permissions.
- Read-only: can access the console using a web client. They
cannot make changes, except to their personal information, such as
their password and preferences.
- API: cannot access the console using a web client. Users
of this type work through a client developed with the Java API or
Perl API. The same API user may have more than one login session.
Session information is shared automatically.
Users who log in through LDAP may be determined to be user type
Normal or Read-only, depending upon the setting of the Write
Access Group DN property. See LDAP integration.
