Introduction to the User Account

Managing a User Account

3.1 Introduction to the User Account

In this manual, a user account refers to an account used by the maintenance staff to log
on to and manage the UA5000 through the CLI. System users are Common users,
Operators, Administrators and Superusers.
z

A Common user can query only the basic information of the system.

An Operator can configure the UA5000 and some services.

An Administrator can manage all the functions and services, and users of lower
levels.

A Superuser has the highest authority for managing all the functions and services,
apart from managing lower levels users. The Superuser cannot be created. By
default, the system has one superuser.

When a user attempts to log on, the UA5000 authenticates the user name and
password. It then assigns the user with the corresponding authority.
Table 31 lists the commands for managing a user.

3.2 Managing a User Account

By default, there is a Superuser root with the password admin. After logging in to the
system, the user root can configure and manage other system users.
The user account management includes:

Adding a User

Querying the User

Modifying the Attributes of a User

Deleting a User

3.2.1 Adding a User Account

To add a user to the CLI, use the terminal user name command. You need to provide
the information such as the account, password, reenter number, user level and addition
information.
z

Account
Also known as user name, it is unique in the UA5000 system. A user name
consists of 1 to 15 printable characters without any space in between.

Password (case sensitive)

The password consists of 1 to 15 characters. Common users and operators can
modify their only own passwords, while the Administrator and Superuser can
modify the passwords of all other users.

User level
There are three levels for users: Common User, Operator and Administrator.

Re-entry count
When a system user attempts to log on, the UA5000 checks whether someone
has logged on using the same account. If yes, the system will check the re-enter
number set for the user and decide whether to allow the user to log on. The
number ranges from 0 to 4. When the reentry time is set as 0, the user is not
allowed to log on, but the user still exists.

User additional information

The user additional information may include the contact method of a system user.
It can be as long as 30 characters.

Note:
z

The Superuser root cannot be deleted, but its password can be modified.

Multiple users can be added at a time. The CLI supports up to 126 system users.

Example
To add the user huawei with the reentry times as 2 and additional information as
0755-8001234567, do as follows:
huawei#terminal user name
User name (<=15 chars):huawei
User password(<=15 chars):
Confirm Password(<=15 chars):
User's Level(1--3)
1. Common User

2. Operator

3. Administrator:1

Permitted reenter number(0--4):2

User append information(<=30 chars):0755-8001234567
This user has been added
Repeat this operation? (y/n)[n]:n

Now query its information using the display terminal user command.
huawei#display terminal user

3.2.4 Deleting a User Account

To delete a user, the Superuser or Administrator can use the undo terminal user
name command.

You cannot delete the Superuser root.

You cannot delete an online user. To delete an online Telnet user, first use the
telnet delete command to disconnect the user. (A user of a higher level can force a
low level online Telnet user to go offline using the telnet delete command.)

Example

huawei#undo terminal user name
