User Manager/Getting started

Download
MikroTik User Manager can be downloaded from the MikroTik download page: MikroTik User Manager [1], choose
system and software type and All packages.

Install
Perform the usual router upgrade steps - upload the User Manager package to the router's FTP server and reboot the
router.

Create first subscriber

Note: Starting from version 3.0 a default subscriber with login admin and empty password is created when
User Manager package is installed for the first time. I.e., admin subscriber is created only if the User Manager
package was not installed prior to version 3.0.

If you are using a version prior to 3.0, then the first subscriber must be added using Mikrotik
terminal (console). All the configuration is done under the /tool user-manager menu.
To create a subscriber you should go to /tool user-manager customer menu and execute add command. It will ask
for the username which you will use.
or you can enter this into the command line:
[admin@USER_MAN] tool user-manager customer> add login="admin"
password="PASSWORD" permissions=owner
You can use the following command to change the password for the 'admin' user:
[admin@USER_MAN] tool user-manager customer set admin password=PASSWORD
After that you can use print command to see what you have added.
[admin@USER_MAN] tool user-manager customer> print
Flags: X - disabled
0
subscriber=admin login="admin" password="adminpassword" time-zone= 00:00
permissions=owner parent=admin
Note: Subscriber shown only in version 3

After that you can use the web interface.

Use web interface

To log on customer web interface type the following address in your web browser: http:/ / Router_IP_address/
userman
where "Router_IP_address" must be replaced with IP address of your router.
Use login and password of the subscriber you have created in console.
Note: On RouterOS 4.1, User-manger webinterface is unreachable with an HTTP 404 when attempting to navigate
to http:/ / inside_ip/ userman from behind a Hotspot interface where inside_ip is an non-NAT'd IP address on the
router. Two workarounds: change the 'www' service port from 80 to something other than 80 or 8080, such as port

81. Then use http:/ / inside_ip:81/ userman, or use an IP address hotspot users are NAT'd to (http:/ / outside_ip/
userman) instead.
