Local database user accounts

Default accounts
Table 15 lists the predefined accounts offered by Fabric OS that are available in the local-switch
user database. The password for all default accounts should be changed during the initial
installation and configuration of each switch.
Admin Domain and Virtual Fabrics considerations: Administrators can act on other accounts only if
that account has an Admin Domain or Logical Fabric list that is a subset of the administrator.
Displaying account information
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account
associated with a user-defined role with permissions for the UserManagement class of
commands.
2. Enter the appropriate show operands for the account information you want to display:
• userConfig --show -a to show all account information for a switch
• userConfig --show username to show account information for the specified account
• userConfig --showad -a adminDomain_ID to show all accounts permitted to select the
specified adminDomain_ID
• userConfig --showlf -l logicalFabric_ID for each LF in an LF_ID_list, displays a list of users
that include that LF in their LF permissions.
Creating an account
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account with admin permissions, or an account
associated with a user-defined role with permissions for the UserManagement class of
commands.
2. Enter the userConfig
--add command. For example:
> userconfig --add metoo -l 1-128 -h 128 -r admin -c admin
This example creates a user account for the user metoo with the following properties:
• Access to Virtual Fabrics 1 through 128
• Default home logical switch to 128
• Admin role permissions
• Admin chassis role permissions
