System Users

Summary

The System Users page is used to add new user accounts that can access the device with different user credentials than the default ones. The newly added users can be assigned to one of two groups, either of which can be modified to limit WebUI read/write access rights for users belonging to each specific group.

This page is unrelated to SSH users. By default, there is one SSH user named "root" and it shares the same password as the default WebUI user named "admin".

This manual page provides an overview of the Users page in TSW202 devices.

Groups

The Groups section lists available user groups of which there are three:

Networking tswos manual administration user settings groups.png

  • root - highest level of authority. Key elements that define this group:
    • has unlimited read/write access;
    • additional users cannot be added to this group;
    • access rights for this group cannot be modified.

    Networking rutos manual users root visualization.png
  • admin - second highest level of authority. Key elements that define this group:
    • limited read access; by default, users belonging to this group cannot view these pages:
    • unlimited write access by default;
    • access rights can be modified.

    Networking rutos manual users admin visualization.png
  • user - lowest level of authority. Key elements that define this group:
    • no write access;
    • limited read access; by default, users belonging to this group cannot view these pages:
    • access rights can be modified.

    Networking rutos manual users user visualization.png

Additional note: you can view and/or edit settings for each group by clicking the 'Edit' button next to them. More on information on how to edit group access settings is located in the following section of this manual page.

Group Settings (edit group)

A group's parameters can be set in its Group Settings page. To access the Groups Settings page, click the 'Edit' button next to the group's name. Below is an example of the Group Settings section:

Networking tswos manual administration user settings group settings.png

Field Value Description
Write action Allow | Deny; default: Allow Specifies whether to allow or deny write actions for users in the group. Write actions consist of changing configurations and performing certain actions (such as clicking buttons).
This field directly correlates with the "Write access" field below it, because the selected write action will apply to pages specified in that field.
Write access path(s) to page(s); default:
  • system/admin/multiusers/change_password
 Path(s) to the page(s) to which the selected "Write action" will be applied. Click the plus symbol to add multiple entries.
Read action Allow | Deny; default: Deny Specifies whether to allow or deny read actions for users in the group. Read actions consist of viewing pages on the WebUI.
This field directly correlates with the "Read access" field below it, because the selected read action will apply to pages specified in that field.
Read access path(s) to page(s); default:
  • system/admin/multiusers/users_configuration
  • system/flashops
  • system/maintenance/backup
  • system/flashops/
  • system/admin/access_control
  • network/
 Path(s) to the page(s) to which the selected "Read action" will be applied. Click the plus symbol to add more entries.
Examples

The easiest way to master the syntax is to navigate to page that you want to generate a path for and the copy the path from the URL of that page.

For example, to specify the path to the Network → Mobile page, navigate to the page, copy the page's URL address starting from the symbol "#" and paste it into one of the access fields:

Networking rutos users groups example url bar v1.png

However, the VPN window contains links to many different types of VPN pages. If you want to specify only one of them, you can do it as well. For example, to to specify the path to the IPsec page, add "/ipsec" to the path string: 

services/vpn/ipsec

An asterisk (*) in the path string means that the every page from that point on is included in that path. For example, to generate a path that includes pages in the Services menu tab: 

services/*

Or to simply include everything in the entire WebUI (if this path is combined with Read action: Deny, users from that group will not be able to login to the WebUI): 

*

Users

The Users section lists all created users and provides the possibility to change their passwords and the group they belong to (with the exception of the default user "admin" which always belongs to the root group).

By default, there is only one user called "admin":

Profiles

Summary

Configuration profiles provide a way to create multiple distinct device configuration sets and apply them to the device based on current user requirements. This chapter is an overview of the Profiles page in TSW202 devices.

Configuration Profiles

This section displays user defined configuration profiles:

Networking rutos manual profiles configuration profiles 2.png

To create a new profile, configure the device in accordance with your needs, go to this page, enter a custom name for the profile and click the 'Add' button. You can also choose to create a profile without any previous configurations. A new profile with the given name will appear in the "configuration profiles" list:

Networking rutos manual profiles configuration profiles add new profile 2.png

The 'Apply' button applies the adjacent configuration on the device.

Scheduler

The Profile Scheduler provides a possibility to set up a schedule of when the device should use one profile configuration or another.

Check Profile Scheduler Instance Example to get a better understanding at how Profile Scheduler Instances works.

General Configuration

The General Configuration section is used to enable the Scheduler itself. Created instances won't work unless this option is turned on.

Networking rutos manual profiles scheduler general configuration.png

Profile Scheduler Instances

The Profile Scheduler Instances section allows you to create profile Instances to be enabled during specific time intervals. To add a new Instance click Add button.

Note: new Instance can only be created if there is at least one custom profile created.

Profile Scheduler Instance Configuration

This page is used to configure profile, time and day of selected scheduler instance. Refer to the figure and table below for information on the Profile Scheduler Instance Configuration fields:

Networking rutos manual profiles scheduler profile scheduler instance configuration v2.png

Field Value Description
Enable off | on; default: off Enable selected instance for scheduler.
Profile profiles; default: none Select profile which will be applied during specified time interval.
Interval Type Weekdays | Month Days; default: Weekdays Depending on your needs select whether you want to configure weekdays or specific month days.
Start Time time; default: 12:00 Enter time of the start of interval in which scheduler will switch profiles.
End Time time; default: 12:00 Enter time of the end of interval in which scheduler will switch profiles back.
Interval Type: Weekdays
Start Day Weekday [Monday..Sunday]; default: Sunday Select a day of the start of interval in which scheduler will switch profiles.
End Day Weekday [Monday..Sunday]; default: Sunday Select a day of the end of interval in which scheduler will switch profiles back.
Interval Type: Month Days
Start Day Day of month [1..31]; default: 1 Select a day of the start of interval in which scheduler will switch profiles.
End Day Day of month [1..31]; default: 1 Select a day of the end of interval in which scheduler will switch profiles back.
Force last day off | on; default: off Force intervals to accept last day of month as valid option if selected day doesn't exist in ongoing month.
Profile Scheduler Instance Example

Scheduler will use profile instance if it is enabled and it's time interval matches device's date, otherwise default profile will be used.

Example - we have 3 profiles in total:

  • default
  • Profile A
  • Profile B

We create profile instances for Profiles A and B:

  • Profile A: 08:00 - 11:00
  • Profile B: 13:00 - 20:00

During 11:00 - 13:00 and 20:00 - 08:00 default profile will be used.
