SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
If you want some user accounts to be administrative only, while other users need to log in for
privileged access through the appliance, but also with the ability to administer it (that is, some
go straight to the management interface on login, while others get the User Login Status
popup window with a Manage button), this can be achieved as follows:
Step 1 Create a local group with the Members go straight to the management UI on web login
checkbox selected.
Step 2 Add the group to the relevant administrative group, but do not select this checkbox in the
administrative group.
Step 3 Add those user accounts that are to be administrative-only to the new user group. The User
Login Status popup window is disabled for these users.
Step 4 Add the user accounts that are to have privileged and administrative access directly to the top-
level administrative group.
