Account Management

Overview

Account Management is used to maintain the admin accounts that log in to the SamWaf console. From Account Management → Account List you can view all accounts and perform actions such as creating an account, editing an account, resetting a password, resetting two-factor authentication (2FA), and deleting an account. Each account can be assigned a role to differentiate management permissions.

Steps

• Enter a keyword in the Login Account field at the top right and click Search to filter the list by login account.
• The list shows the login account, role, remarks, and creation time.

2. Create an Account

1. Click the Create Account button at the top left to open the dialog.
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Login Account (required)
   • Role: choose from the dropdown (Super Administrator / System Administrator / Security Administrator / Audit Administrator)
   • Login Password (required)
   • Status: a number, default 1

3. Click Confirm to create, or Close to cancel.

3. Edit an Account

1. Click Edit on the target account row.

3. Click Confirm to complete the reset.
