User management

A user can be a person who configures and manages a station or a software program that accesses a station without requiring human intervention (machine-to-machine user). The personnel function does not manage users, and user names are not the same as person names. Persons access the building. Users access the system that manages the building.

User management involves editing the default users provided by the system and creating additional users as needed. User configuration sets up credentials, authentication scheme, home page, cell phone number, and other properties.

Creating a user for AsureID to access a station via the Obix Network is an example of setting up a machine-to-machine user. This user requires the HTTPBasicScheme and is often given the user name: obix.
