User Administration
Adding User
Accounts
adduser <user-name> -p <passwd> [-d <mode>] [-g <group>]
This command is only available if you are logged in as
root
.
This command creates a new user account. The
mode
parameter sets the
command mode that a user accesses when they log in. If unspecified, it defaults
to a slash (/) so the user begins their session in root mode. Users with observer
privileges must start their sessions in root mode.
The
group
parameter specifies the user account’s privilege level. It can be
OBSERVER
or
NORMAL
. If unspecified, the user account has observer
privileges.
To use this command, you must be in
root
mode.
Note 1: The specified password is case sensitive and must be at least six
characters long.
Note 2: The specified group is case sensitive.
If you use a RADIUS server to authenticate users as they login, you must
specify the user’s privilege level in the RADIUS
Reply-Message
field. Specifically,
the
Reply-Message
field must contain in plain text one of the following:
root
,
NORMAL
or
OBSERVER
. These entries in RADIUS are case sensitive, so make
sure the user privilege levels are entered exactly as specified. If the privilege
levels are unspecified in RADIUS, then the BelAir100 provides the user with
observer
privileges.
Example
/# adduser testuser -p userpwd - d system
