18 User Account Configuration
Creating user accounts
A user account consists of an account name, an authority level, and an expiration date, which have the
following requirements:
• The account name can be up to 15 characters: the first character must be alphanumeric; the remaining
characters must be American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) characters except
semicolon (;), comma (,), #, and period (.).
• The authority level grants admin authority (true) or denies it (false).
• The expiration date sets the date when the user account expires.
Only the Admin user account can create user accounts. Add user accounts with the
user add
command.
The following example creates a new user account named user1 with admin authority that expires in 100
days.
SN6000 FC Switch (admin) #> user add
Press 'q' and the ENTER key to abort this command.
account name (1-15 chars) : user1
account password (8-20 chars) : *******
please confirm account password: *******
set account expiration in days (0-2000, 0=never): [0] 100
should this account have admin authority? (y/n): [n] y
OK to add user account 'user1' with admin authority
and to expire in 100 days?
Please confirm (y/n): [n] y
Modifying user accounts and passwords

admin
user account can modify a user account, delete a user account, or change the password
of another user account. However, all user accounts can change their own passwords.
• The
