In this example, we will change password of the User "admin":

Adding local and remote LSM GUI & API Users

 

In this example, a new engineer joined the LSM team. Leo needs both:

Local LSM access using the browser on the LSM Server, and

Remote LSM access using the browser on a laptop from another IP address

 

For security reasons (e.g., authorization revocation), 2 User accounts will be created for the same person (one for local and one for remote access)
