Creating FRITZ!Box Users
Overview
You can set up as many as 18 user accounts in the FRITZ!Box. A
FRITZ!Box user opens the user interface of the FRITZ!Box by entering
her or his personal password. There she or he can view and change
those contents or settings for which she or he has been granted
access rights.
It is up to you whether to use FRITZ!Box users instead of the FRITZ!Box
password. You need to log in as FRITZ!Box user in the following cases:
•
You would like to access your FRITZ!Box from the Internet.
•
You would like to assign different rights to different users of your
FRITZ!Box.
Do not create any user accounts for temporary users (like weekend
guests, for example) whom you would like to grant Internet access
over your FRITZ!Box temporarily. Use the guest access of the
FRITZ!Box instead;
see Configuring Wireless Guest Access, page 163
.

FRITZ!Box password or set up FRITZ!Box accounts. These password
variants differ in the following ways:
