User Type

Local User

• By
  default there is a local user called “admin” that is a member of the
  admin group. For backwards compatibility this user can never be deleted
  
• You may change the password of this user or delete it but you cannot delete the last local admin

Cluster User

• ALB-X in Cluster role will create Cluster Users only
• Cluster Users are synchronised across all of the ALB-X in the Cluster
• Any change to a cluster user will change on all members of the cluster
• If you are logged on as a cluster user then you will not be able to change roles from cluster to manual or stand-alone
  

Cluster and Local User

• Any users created whilst in Stand-Alone or Manual role will be copied to the Cluster
• If  the ALB-X subsequently leave the Cluster then only Loal Users will remain
• The last configured password for the user will be valid

Removing Users

• Click Remove
• You will not be able to delete the user that is currently signed in
  
• You will not be able to remove the last local user in the admin group
• You will not be able to remove the last cluster user in the admin group
• You will not be able to delete the admin user for backwards compatibility
• If you remove an ALB-X from the cluster all users except local users will be deleted
