User accounts and password management on the NextSeq 1000/2000
The NextSeq 1000/2000 Operating system has three accounts:
Root (super administrator)
ilmnadmin (administrator)
ilmnuser (user)
The administrator account is intended only for applying system updates, like updating the NextSeq 1000/2000 Control Software, or for use by IT staff to mount a persistent network drive. Perform all other functions, including sequencing, from the user account.
The Field Service Engineer (FSE) initiates a password change for all three accounts after completing instrument installation. Update each password every 180 days, when prompted.
