userconfig --help
Description Use this command to manage a user's account on a switch by configuring the account's role and
the Admin Domains that account may access. An account is assigned a single role. An account can
access multiple Admin Domains, but only one Admin Domain at a time. New accounts created take
on the role specified during account creation. Valid roles are listed below.
The actions associated with this command can be executed on any switch. When the userConfig
command completes, account information is saved persistently. On platforms supporting multiple
switch domains, account information is saved only to the switch domain, on which the command
was executed.
The account database can be distributed manually to other switches in the fabric by using the
distribute command. Target switches must be configured to accept the database. Accounts that
are not consistent with the distributed database will be overwritten. Account recovery from backup
or access to backup data is no longer supported as of Fabric OS v6.0.
This command supports the following roles:
User Non-administrative use, such as monitoring system activity.
Operator A subset of administrative tasks for routine switch maintenance.
SwitchAdmin Administrative use excluding security, user management, and zoning.
ZoneAdmin Zone management only.
FabricAdmin Administrative use excluding user management and AD management.
BasicSwitchAdmin Administrative use with a subset of Admin-level access, mostly for monitoring
with limited switch (local) commands.
Admin All administrative commands.
SecurityAdmin All switch security and user management functions.
Notes The userConfig command operates on the switch-local user database only, regardless of whether
the switch is configured to use RADIUS authentication or not.
The account database supports a maximum of 256 customer created accounts.
