userconfig --help
Description Use this command to manage user accounts on a switch. In a Virtual Fabric-enabled environment, you can
configure the account's username, its role, and the logical fabrics that the account may access. An account can
have different roles for different Logical Fabrics. An account can access multiple Logical Fabrics, but only one
Logical Fabric at a time.
When executed without operands, this command displays the usage. The logical fabric command options are
displayed only if Logical Fabrics are enabled on the switch.
You can execute the userConfig command on any switch. When the command completes, account information is
saved persistently. On platforms supporting multiple switch domains, account information is saved only to the
switch domain, in which the command was executed.
Use the distribute command to distribute the account database manually to other switches in the fabric. Target
switches must be configured to accept the database. Accounts that are not consistent with the distributed database
are overwritten. Account recovery from backup or access to backup data is not supported..
This command supports all user-defined roles in addition to the default roles provided with Fabric OS. To display
the user-defined roles with their associated access permissions, use the roleConfig --show -all command. To
display all roles, including the default roles, use the roleConfig --show -all -default command.
In a Logical Fabric environment, you can additionally define access to chassis-level commands. An account can
have one role in the Logical Fabric, and another role regarding chassis commands.
An asterisk (*) next to the account name in the userConfig --show and userConfig -a output indicates that the
password for that user account is still at the default value.
