Description
Account management and distribution is vital to the security of any network element. Account management by a designated authority ensures access to network elements is being controlled in a secured manner by granting access to only authorized personnel with the appropriate and necessary privileges. Providing automated support functions for the management of accounts will ensure only active accounts will be granted access with the proper authorization levels. As accounts are created or terminated and privilege levels are updated, the network element will automatically recognize this activity and immediately enforce the current account policy.
