Function Description

MM User Management

  • Add an MM910 user.
  • Change the password or user group of an MM910 user.
  • Delete an MM910 user.
  • Add a public key.

Note:

  • Only the users in the super user domain have the permission to select a user domain for a new user.
  • Only an administrator has permission to delete a user and change the user group to which a user belongs. For the root user, an administrator can change its password but cannot delete it or change its user group.

    The New User dialog box is displayed. See Figure 1. Table 2 lists the user parameters.

    NOTE:
    • To ensure security, it is recommended that you cancel the root user's access permission to all interfaces by deselecting all options of User Interface in Figure 1.
    • Administrators without permission to access an interface cannot modify other users' permission to access the interface.
    • If all superdomain administrators do not have the permission to access an interface, they can assign the permission to access the interface to other users only by logging in over the serial port and running the userintfauth command. For details about how to log in over the serial port, see Logging In to the Server Over a Serial Port by Using the PuTTY.
