Managing Users
--------------

During the admin panel installation on the first node, |product_name| creates the default unique administrator account, superadmin. The user name for this account is ``admin`` and the password is specified during installation. This account cannot be deleted and its privileges cannot be changed. Other than that, superadmin does not differ from a user account assigned the **Administrator** role (i.e. an admin).

An admin can create user accounts and assign to them one or more roles listed below:

.. raw:: latex

   \setlist[description]{leftmargin=!,labelindent=0pt,labelwidth=1em+\widthof{Administrator}}

**Administrator**
   Can fully manage cluster and users.

**Network**
   Can modify network settings and roles.

**Cluster**
   Can create cluster, join nodes to cluster, and manage (assign and release) disks.

**Compute**
   Can create and manage compute cluster and virtual machines.

**ABGW**
   Can create and manage Backup Gateway instances.

**iSCSI**
   Can create and manage iSCSI targets and LUNs.

**NFS**
   Can create and manage NFS shares and exports.

**S3**
   Can create and manage S3 cluster.

**SSH**
   Can add and remove SSH keys for cluster nodes access.

**Updates**
   Can install |product_name| updates.

.. raw:: latex

   \setlist[description]{leftmargin=!,labelindent=0pt,labelwidth=1em+\widthof{ }}

User accounts to which no roles are assigned are guest accounts. Guests can monitor |product_name| performance and parameters but cannot change any settings.

All users, however, can change their own passwords (see :ref:`Managing User Accounts`).

Managing User Accounts
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Any user can change their account password by clicking the user icon in the top right corner of the admin panel and then clicking **Change password**.

An admin can create/delete other users' accounts, add/remove roles from them, change their descriptions and passwords (although superadmin's password can only be changed by superadmin), as well as enable/disable user accounts (i.e. allow/prohibit user login). To manage a user account, login as an admin, open the **Settings** > **Users** screen, select a user from the list, and click **Configure** or **Delete** depending on what you need to do.
