Administering user accounts

As admin user you can administer user accounts. This section summarizes the CLI commands which can be used to administer user accounts.

Adding new users

To add a new user username, use the command: system add user < username > < Comment >

system add login user < username > < Comment >

The first command creates a user who can access the system via a dialin connection using PPP for example. The second command creates a user who can login to the system.

For example, the commands:

system add user fred user with dialin access

system add login joe user with login access

creates two new users called fred and joe. The accounts are created with no passwords. To view details about the new users, enter:

system list users

The following information is returned:

Users:
May May Access
ID Name		Conf.	Dialin	Level	Comment
-------------		----------	----------	-----------	-------------------------
1	fred	disabled	ENABLED	default	user with dialin access
2	joe	ENABLED	disabled default		user with login access
3	admin	ENABLED	disabled superuser Default admin user

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
