Logging on to the PowerManage system

General

Access the PowerManage system with an email address and password. A user's email address and password identify the user and are set when the user is added to the server. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) option can be added to the PowerManage login to enhance security.

When the MFA option is enabled, login onto PowerManage requires two stages:

  • Entry of email and password

  • Entry of one time password (OTP) that you receive on your mobile phone. For more information on MFA operation and setup, see Multi Factor Authentication. For more information on adding a user to the server, see Adding a new user.

For more information on changing a user's email address, see Editing user information.

For more information about logging on as the Default Super Admin, see Default super admin.
