Any user that will be accessing the IoTServer using SNMPv3 will require additional settings for authentication an privacy. Those are provided here. The definition of "user" can include other machines that wish to query the MIB in the IoTServer.

If your system uses SNMPv3, users will have to be defined to interact with other SNMP devices. You will be able to choose access permissions for SNMP Agent users, as well as SNMP Trap Receiver users. The SNMP user settings will be used in generating the SNMP configuration files.

If the user has access to the SNMP Trap Receiver, you must also specify a unique engine ID for this user. SNMP devices will use this id in identifying your system when sending traps.

Other Notes

Note: Users logging in via RADIUS will not have the opportunity to edit their profiles. In this case, they are defaulted to web only users with a default Modbus number display format. Passwords and usernames are controlled by the registered RADIUS server.
