To modify an existing user, navigate to System Configuration > System Administration > User Management and click Modify next to the relevant user. On the modify screen, there are three areas:
- Permissions: For further details on each of the permission types, refer to the User Permissions section.
- Change Password: For further information on this section, refer to the Change a User’s Password and WUI Authentication Method section.
- API Keys: When running API commands, you can authenticate using an API key. An API key is a unique identifier used to authenticate a user. The API Keys section on the Modify user screen displays any API keys currently generated for that specific user. You can have up to 16 API keys per user - if you try to create more, the oldest is silently deleted. The oldest API key is listed at the top. To generate an API key for a specific user, click Generate New APIKey.
- Local Certificate: For further information on this section, refer to the Client Certificate WUI/API Authentication section.
