I was just playing with the additional user configuration.  I can't get it to work.  I have always used my admin user/password and that works fine.  But when I tried to setup additional users . . . no go.

 

I click on file, setup userid/password, user 1.  I enter a username and a password twice.  It asks me to confirm.  I confirm.  I logoff and try to logon with those credentials and it says failure.

 

If, the user and password did work, what is the value in having additional users?  Are these users restricted from changing settings?

 

I'm on 5.0.8.  And yes, the UI is also 5.0.8.

 

I checked the user manual pdf and wiki and I find nothing about the additional users.

I'd like to be able to create a user for IFTTT and ran into this same issue today. Also on 5.0.8

Yup, that was my reasoning as well.  Wanted a non-admin user/pass for ifttt

Apologies to everyone. We are spending every second of everyday trying to get 5.0.9 out. As such, not a lot of activity on the forum.

 

Thanks so very much for your patience and understanding.

 

With kind regards,

bumping this back to the front.

Hi,

 

The additional users are only for Node Servers, and not for general use.  They allow you to install a node server without having to give the node server full access to your ISY, instead, the node server only has access to certain REST API's that affect the nodes that it owns/controls.
