Configure FMC Administrative Settings
After you complete the initial setup process for an FMC and verify its success, we recommend that you
complete various administrative tasks that make your deployment easier to manage. You should also complete
any tasks you skipped during the initial setup, such as licensing. Establish these configurations using the
default admin account or another account with Administrator access.
For detailed information on any the tasks described in the following sections, as well as information on how
you can begin to configure your deployment, see the
your software version.
Log In to the FMC Web Interface as an Administrator
If you have not already logged into the FMC web interface to perform initial setup, you need to do so to
configure FMC administrative settings. Use the default admin account, or if you have already created additional
user accounts, use an account with Administrator access.
Users are restricted to a single active session. If you try to log in with a user account that already has an active
session, the system prompts you to terminate the other session or log in as a different user.

Step 3
Click Login.
Create Individual User Accounts
After you complete the initial setup, the only web interface user on the system is the admin user, which has
the Administrator role and access. Users with that role have full menu and configuration access to the system.
We recommend that you limit the use of the admin account (and the Administrator role) for security and
auditing reasons.
Note
The admin accounts for accessing an FMC using the shell and accessing an FMC using the web interface are
not the same, and may use different passwords.
set the browser to incognito or private mode.
