When a Single Connect user with privileged access (like root or admin) connects to devices, they can connect without knowing the privileged user password, as long as the Global Username is defined. See Device Management for details.

1. Navigate to** Device Management** > **Device Groups**.
2. Right-Click the desired device group and select **Show Properties**.
3. Set the privileged target device username as **globalUsername**.
4. Set the password of the account as **globalPassword**.
