Users

Manage users and their access levels.

Types of Users

A brand new install of Trisul has two users pre-provisioned

• admin - username admin and password admin

The admin login must be used to perform all tasks that involve system configuration change, starting and stopping Trisul processes, user and role management.

• user - username user and password user

The user login is for all other operations like viewing and scheduling reports, packet analysis, viewing alerts, and pretty much everything else a normal operator would do on a regular basis.
