Adding a New User

To add a new user to the system, you must be a member of the admin group. By default, only the admin user is a member of the admin group.

In this configuration example, a Certificate Administrator user is added to the system, and then assigned to the certadmin group. The Certificate Administrator is supposed to specialize in managing certificates and private keys, without the possibility to change system parameters or configure virtual SSL servers. A user who is a member of the certadmin group can therefore access the Certificate menu (/cfg/cert), but not the SSL Server menu (/cfg/ssl/server). Access to the System menu (/cfg/sys) is limited, and entails access only to the User Access Control submenu (/cfg/sys/user).
