Gateway Administrators

The Gateway Administrators page lets you configure the administrator accounts that can log in to the local gateway.

You must create at least one Gateway administrator with Read-Write permissions to manage these administrators in the SMP.

Note - The first gateway administrator that you create automatically has Read Write permissions and cannot be deleted.

After you create a gateway administrator, you cannot change the password. Instead, delete the administrator and create a new one.

When you use the SMP to manage gateway administrators, the administrators on the local appliance are deleted. If a gateway is no longer managed by the SMP, the gateway administrators are saved on the local appliance.

This feature is only supported on R77.20 and higher gateways.
