Nortel Secure Network Access Switch 4050 User Guide

To set or change the login password for a specified user and to view and manage 
group assignments, access the User <

> menu by using the following 

command:

/cfg/sys/user/edit <username>

The User <

> menu displays.

The User <

> menu includes the following options:

All users must belong to at least one group. Only an administrator user can add a 
new user account to the system, but any user can grant an existing user 
membership in a group to which the granting user belongs.

By default, the administrator user is a member of all three built-in groups (admin, 
oper, certadmin) and can therefore add a new user to any of these groups. 
However, a certificate administrator, who is a member of the certadmin group 
only, can add an existing user to the certadmin group only.

If a user belongs to only one group and you want to change the user’s group 
membership, add the user to the new group first, and then remove the user from 
the old one.

/cfg/sys/user/edit <username>

password> <confirm
