27.2.1 User Add/Edit Screen

The User Add/Edit screen allows you to create a new user account or edit an existing one.

27.2.1.1 Rules for User Names

Enter a user name from 1 to 31 characters.

The user name can only contain the following characters:

•Alphanumeric A-z 0-9 (there is no unicode support)

•_ [underscores]

•- [dashes]

The first character must be alphabetical (A-Z a-z), an underscore (_), or a dash (-). Other limitations on user names are:

•User names are case-sensitive. If you enter a user 'bob' but use 'BOB' when connecting via CIFS or FTP, it will use the account settings used for 'BOB' not ‘bob’.

•User names have to be different than user group names.

•Here are the reserved user names:

•	adm	•	admin	•	any	•	bin	•	daemon
•	debug	•	devicehaecived	•	ftp	•	games	•	halt
•	ldap-users	•	lp	•	mail	•	news	•	nobody
•	operator	•	radius-users	•	root	•	shutdown	•	sshd
•	sync	•	uucp	•	zyxel

To access this screen, go to the User screen (see Section 27.2 on page 373), and click either the Add icon or an Edit icon.
