Configuring user group attributes
User groups simplify local user configuration and management. A user 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 user attributes management for the local users in the group. Configurable user
attributes include password control attributes and authorization attributes.
By default, every newly added local user belongs to the system default user group system and bears all
attributes of the group. To change the user group to which a local user belongs, use the user-group
command in local user view.
