In this example, the input file has contents:

<!–Add user with minimal privileges to test default setting of assigned privileges to 'N'—> <RIBCL version="1.2"/>

<LOGIN USER_LOGIN="x" PASSWORD="x"> <USER_INFO MODE="write">

<ADD_USER USER_NAME="Landy9" USER_LOGIN="mandy9" PASSWORD="floppyshoes">

<RESET_SERVER_PRIV value="Y" /> <ADMIN_PRIV value="Y" /> </ADD_USER>

</USER_INFO> </LOGIN> </RIBCL>

The specified user will be added to the device.
