Configuring users and user groups
Overview
You can configure local users and create groups to manage users on the switch series.
A local user represents a set of user attributes configured on a switch (such as the user password, use type,
service type, and authorization attribute), and is uniquely identified by the username. For a user
requesting a network service to pass local authentication, you must add an entry as required in the local
user database of the switch. For more information about local authentication, see "Configuring AAA."
A u
ser group consists of a group of local users and has a set of local user attributes. You can configure
local user attributes for a user group to implement centralized management of user attributes for the local
users in the group. All local users in a user group inherit the user attributes of the group, but if you
configure user attributes for a local user, the settings of the local user take precedence over the settings
for the user group.
By default, every newly added local user belongs to a user group named system, which is automatically
created by the system.
