Nokia IPSO 4.0 manual Adding and Deleting Users, User Account Attributes, Attribute Description

After you create a new user, go to Role-Based Administration > Assign Role to Users to grant the user additional access privileges. For more information, see “Role-Based Administration” on page 293.

Table 14 describes the attributes associated with each user account.

Table 14 User Account Attributes

Attribute	Description
Name	Name used to identify the user.
	Range: 1-32 characters
User ID	Unique ID number for the user account. The system will not allow you to create
	a user with a duplicate User ID.
	Range: 0-65535; 0-102 and 65534 are reserved for system use. For example,
	the admin user is UID 0, the monitor user is UID 102, and the cluster
	administrator (cadmin) is UID 101.
Group ID	Primary group for the user. The user can be assigned to other groups as
	reflected on the Groups page. Files and directories owned by the user are
	assigned the permissions of that user’s primary group.
	Range: 0-65535. Nokia recommends that you reserve 0 to 100 for system use,
	although this is not enforced. Numbers 0 and 10 are reserved for the
	predefined Wheel and Other groups respectively. GIDs 65533 & 65534 are
	also reserved.
Home directory	This is the full UNIX path name of a directory where the user will log in. The
	home directory for all users must be /var/emhome/<username>.
Shell	All users except the admin user are assigned by default to the CLI shell
	(/etc/cli.sh).
New password	Use this field to enter a new password if you are changing it.
	Range: 6-128 characters. All printable characters are allowed.
New password (verify)	Re-enter the new password if you are changing it.

Adding and Deleting Users

In addition to regular users who have access to various features of Network Voyager and the CLI, you can create SNMP users. SNMP users are visible only in the Manage SNMP Users page of Network Voyager, they are not displayed on the system User Management pages. For more information on SNMP users, see “Managing SNMP Users” on page 263.

Note

When you add a user with cluster permissions, the user is not automatically created on the other nodes of the cluster. To add this user to other nodes of the cluster, you must log in to each node as a system admin user (cluster admin users do not have RBA access).
