System Accounts on the Cisco StadiumVision Director Servers

First Published: April 21, 2014

 

This module describes the default system accounts implemented by Cisco StadiumVision Director and Cisco StadiumVision Director Remote for access and control of certain server functions. Aside from the admin account, these system accounts are generally separate from the user accounts that secure access to the Cisco StadiumVision Director feature configuration and operation.

In addition, only a few of these accounts are intended for general modification after installation of the server. Other system accounts are reserved for special services or technical support and should not be modified unless you are instructed to do so, or you otherwise understand the impact to your server installation.

For information about user accounts and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in Cisco StadiumVision Director, see the User Management in Cisco StadiumVision Director.
