User Authentication and Authorization

The following steps guide you through connecting to the WP500 via the web interface.

In the browser's address bar, enter the IP address of the WP Connex device. For example: https://192.168.1.71

After entering the IP address, you will be directed to the WP Connex web login page. This page is the entry point to accessing the device's configuration settings.

In the designated field, enter your pre-configured username. This username was set up during the initial configuration of your user account. If you do not know your username, refer to your configuration settings or contact your system administrator for assistance.
Input the password associated with your username. Ensure that the password meets security requirements and was either set by you or provided by the administrator during the account setup.
To enhance security, the login process includes a Captcha verification. Enter the characters displayed in the Captcha image to confirm that you are a legitimate user. If the Captcha is difficult to read, you can refresh it by clicking the "Refresh" button.
Once you have entered your username, password, and Captcha information, click the "Login" button to proceed. Ensure that all information is correct to avoid login failures.

Note: The default IP for accessing the Web UI and login for the WP500 device is https://192.168.1.150.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC):

Fields	Description
Admin Role	The Admin role is designed for users who need full access to the WP500 system. Admins have comprehensive permissions, including the ability to view and edit configurations, manage network settings, update firmware, and oversee security protocols. This role should be assigned to system administrators or IT staff responsible for the maintenance and overall management of the WP500.
Viewer Role	The Viewer role is more restricted than the Admin role, focusing on monitoring rather than editing. Users with the Viewer role can view configurations, monitor system performance, and access reports, but they cannot make any changes to the system. This role is suitable for users who need to monitor the system's status and perform routine checks without requiring full administrative access.
Engineer Role	The Engineer role provides intermediate access, with permissions that are close to those of the Admin role but without the ability to edit or delete other users. Engineers have rights to manage most system operations but cannot modify user accounts. This role is suitable for users who require higher access than the Viewer role but do not need full administrative control.
Superuser Role	The Superuser role is highly specialized and does not allow access to the web interface. Superusers can only access the system via Linux command line through a terminal like PuTTY using the device's IP address. This role is typically assigned to advanced users or developers who require direct access to the system for specialized tasks. Superuser accounts are created by Admins and should be restricted to users who need to perform tasks that cannot be managed through the web interface.
