userConfig
Manages user accounts.
Synopsis userconfig [actions][arguments]
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
of the default Admin, SwitchAdmin or User account. When the userConfig command completes,
account information is saved persistently. In a platform supporting multiple switch domains, account
information is saved only to the switch domain that the command was executed on.
Valid roles are:
User Nonadministrative use, such as monitoring system activity.
Operator A subset of administrative tasks performed off-hours
SwitchAdmin Administrative use excluding security, user management, and zoning
ZoneAdmin Zone management only
FabricAdmin Administrative use excluding user management and AD managment
BasicSwitchAdmin Administrative use with a subset of Admin-level access
Admin Administrative use
In Secure Fabric OS mode, the actions associated with this command to add, delete, change or recover
accounts are allowed only on the Primary FCS switch. The Primary FCS switch distributes the update to
the entire Fabric. As a result, all switches supporting customer-defined accounts will have the same
account database. All accounts that are not consistent with the Primary FCS switch will be deleted and
saved in the backup database. Administrators can use the --recover action to restore the accounts.

option displays information about all accounts. The -b option displays information

Only accounts with Admin role can show information about other accounts
besides the current login account.

--show is the only action available to accounts that are not Admin roles. All other
