Creating a GSS User Account
When you create a user account from the GSS CLI, specify the new username,
password, and privilege level using the username command. You cannot create a
new account without designating a value for each of these configuration settings.
To create a user account that can log in and access the CLI of a GSS device:
1. Log in to the CLI and enable privileged EXEC mode.
gss1.example.com> enable
gss1.example.com#
2. Access global configuration mode on the GSS.
gss1.example.com# config
gss1.example.com(config)#
3. Use the username command to create and configure your new login account.
The syntax for the username command is:
username name {delete | password password privilege {user | admin}}
The variables and options include:
• name—Specifies the username you want to assign or change. Enter an
unquoted alphanumeric text string with no spaces and a maximum of 32
characters. Ensure that the username begins with an alpha character (for
example, A-Z or a-z). The GSS does not support usernames that begin
with a numerical value.
• delete—Deletes the named user or administrative account.
• password password—Establishes the password. Specify the password
you want to assign. Enter an unquoted text string with no spaces and a
maximum length of 8 characters.
• privilege—Sets user privilege level. To create an administrative account,
specify admin. To create a user account, select user.
