adduser
adduser
Add User
Adds a user account with associated name, privilege level, and password. User names must begin with
an alpha character. The maximum number of users is 100.
The privilege level of the user you are adding must be lower than the user-level at which you execute
adduser. For example, to create a user with a privilege 1, you must log in as a superuser or above.
You can execute commands that require either the same or lower level privilege. With superuser access,
for example, you can execute commands that require “superuser,” “group 1,” or “anyuser” privilege. The
minimum access level for a command appears in the Attributes section of each description.
In descending order of access privilege:
•
Service (for potentially dangerous configuration commands or complex troubleshooting commands
•
Superuser
•
Group 1
•
Any user
