User Account Overview
5-4 User Account and Password Management
Procedure 5-2 on page 5-4 shows how a super-user creates a new super-user account and assigns
it as the emergency access account.
Refer to the CLI Reference for your platform for details about the commands listed below.
This example enables a new user account named “guest” with read-only privileges and allows
access only between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm on Mondays through Wednesdays. The password for
this account is then set, and the configured login accounts are displayed.
C5(su)->set system login guest read-only enable allowed-interval 08:00 17:00
allowed-days Mon Tue Wed
C5(su)->set password guest
Please enter new password: ********

Procedure 5-2 creates a new super-user account and assigns it as the emergency access user
account. In addition, the default super-user account, admin, is disabled as a security measure.
