Adding Locally-Defined Users

Follow this procedure to add users directly to the Security Management appliance if you are not using
external authentication. Alternatively, use the userconfig command in the CLI.

Note

If external authentication is also enabled, be sure that local user names do not duplicate
externally-authenticated user names.

There is no limit to the number of user accounts that you can create on the appliance.

Procedure

Step 1

If you will assign custom user roles, we recommend that you define those roles first. See

Custom User

Roles, page 13-4

Step 2

On the Security Management appliance, choose Management Appliance > System Administration >
Users.

Step 3

Click Add User.

Step 4

Enter a unique name for the user. You cannot enter words that are reserved by the system (such as
“operator” and “root”).

If you also use external authentication, user names should not duplicate externally-authenticated user
names.

Step 5

Enter a full name for the user.

Step 6

Select a predefined role or a custom role. See

Table 13-1

for more information about user roles.
