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:
