Configure User-Accounts
This command is used to configure users of the system. Maximum number of
users is 20. Only a user with Administrator privilege can create or delete users.
When an Administrator creates a user account they also determine the privilege
level by the number of passwords they give the user – the privilege_password that
gives a user admin privilege is optional.
Any administrator can delete any other administrator or user. The system will not
allow all use accounts to be deleted. There must always be at least one
administrator defined.
The system will not allow Admins to delete themselves. To ‘modify’ user’s or
administrator’s options (user_name, login_password, or privilege_passrword) the
Administrator has to create existing user or administrator with new login_password
or privilege_password. The create command is used to "over-write" or "modify" an
existing account.
Configure User-Accounts
configure user-accounts create { user} { login_password} [ privilege_password]
Minimum Access Level: Administrator
The configure user-accounts create command creates a user account and defines passwords
for it. It also can be used to change passwords.
user – Specifies a user name of 1–15 printable characters. Spaces are not allowed. If the user
already exists, the command modifies the password or passwords for the user.
login_password – Specifies a password of 1–15 printable characters. Spaces are not allowed. A
login password is required of all users.
privilege_password – Specifies a password of 1–15 printable characters. Spaces are not
allowed. The optional second password allows users to enter privileged mode to configure the
system. The privilege password must be different than the login password.
Example:
PDYN# configure user-accounts create clerk sesame
PDYN# configure user-accounts create admin2 sesame newpass
