Viewing and managing device usernames and passwords

From the device details page, you can view existing usernames and passwords on a device and update them to new values.

Before you begin

First, go to the device menu and make sure that you have the correct account permissions to complete the tasks.

  • Go to your console's device menu. For more information, see Navigating to devices.
  • Make sure that you have any necessary account permissions and device access. Only the account owner, or a user with the Manage users classic infrastructure permission, can adjust the permissions.

For more information about permissions, see Managing device access.
