The User List section in the WP500 Gateway allows administrators to manage user accounts efficiently. This section provides tools for adding, modifying, and controlling access permissions for all users, ensuring secure and organized management of your system.

Adding a User

  Follow the steps below to add a new user and manage the user list.

1. Go to the User List section of the WP500 web interface.

2. Click on the Add User button to open the user creation form.

3. Fill User Details

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.

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.

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.

4. Enter a secure password for the user. Ensure it meets the system's password policy requirements.

5. Click Save to add the user to the system.

5.   After adding the user, verify that the new user appears in the "User List" with the correct details.

Notes:

• Ensure to follow the password policy for secure credentials.
• Users with the role "SUPERUSER" will not be able to log in via the web portal but can access other system functionalities as defined by their role.

Managing Users

• From the user list, you can select any user to modify their details, such as updating their password or changing their role. If necessary, you can also delete users from the system to revoke access.

Configurable Password Criteria

The Password Policy section in the WP500 Gateway provides administrators with the ability to customize and enforce password requirements for system users. By defining specific parameters, administrators can ensure that all user accounts meet the necessary security standards. Below are the configurable criteria available within the Password Policy section:

1. Minimum Alphabet Characters Count
   Set the minimum number of alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z) required in a password. This ensures that passwords contain letters, enhancing complexity.

2. Minimum Mixed Characters Count (Uppercase/Lowercase)
   Define the minimum number of mixed-case characters required in a password. Enforcing the use of both uppercase and lowercase letters strengthens the password's resistance to guessing.

3. Minimum Numbers Count
   Specify the minimum number of numerical characters (0-9) that must be included in the password. Requiring numbers adds an extra layer of protection against brute-force attacks.

4. Minimum Special Characters Count
   Set the minimum number of special characters (e.g., @, #, $, &) that must be used in a password. Special characters increase password complexity, making them more secure.

5. Allowed Special Characters
   Define which special characters are permitted in passwords. This flexibility helps ensure compliance with organizational security policies and regulatory requirements.

6. Minimum Characters Count
   Set the overall minimum number of characters required for a password. Longer passwords typically provide better security by increasing the number of possible combinations.

7. Password Block Time
   Configure the duration, in minutes, for which an account will be locked after reaching the maximum number of incorrect password attempts.

8. Password Attempts
   Set the maximum number of failed password attempts allowed before triggering account lockout.

9. Session Timeout
   Define the session timeout duration in minutes. After this time, inactive sessions will automatically log out, enhancing security by preventing unauthorized access.

Block Passwords

In the "Block Password" feature, users have the capability to restrict the use of easily guessable passwords, common names, or birth-dates during the user creation process. This helps enhance security by preventing users from selecting weak or easily predictable passwords, thereby strengthening the overall integrity of the system.

After configuring all the password policy settings ,Save the changes by clicking on the "Apply" button. This ensures that all the configured settings are stored.

Make sure to verify that the settings are successfully updated to ensure security measures are in place.

2FA User List

This section displays a list of users who have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA). For each user, the system will show the status of their 2FA setup.

• Display User List
  View the list of users who have enabled two-factor authentication. This helps administrators manage and monitor 2FA across all accounts.
• Disable 2FA
  To disable 2FA for a specific user, click on the "Disable 2FA" button next to their name. This action will remove the additional security layer for that user, reverting their login process to single-factor authentication.
