Create an Optional User Account

Milestone Arcus does not provide a default user account or password and anyone can log in. After you create a user account and specify a password, log in security is enabled and you must enter your user name and password when you log in.

By default, the first user account that you create is an administrator account. After you create the first user account, you can select whether a user account is an administrator account or a standard user account (see What Types of Optional User Accounts Are Supported by Milestone for ReadyNAS?).

To create a user account:

  1. Log in to the ReadyNAS.
  2. In the Apps section of the Overview page, click the Milestone Arcus Surveillance link.

    If the link does not display, click the Apps section heading.
