To add a user:
Issue a User Add command.
USER ADD <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]
You must specify a username. You must also specify a password or SSH user key information, or
you may specify both. You may also include an access level or access rights. For more information,
see Connecting to devices using SSH on page 15, Access rights and levels on page 21 and User Add
command on page 65.
To change a user’s configuration information:
Issue a User Set command.
USER SET <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>] [FTPIP=<ftpadd>]
[KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]
You may change your own password at any time. You must have USER access rights to change
another user’s password or to change any user’s SSH user key information and access rights.
To remove an SSH user key or password, specify Key=“” or Password=“”. You cannot remove
both the password and the SSH key from a user’s definition; one must remain in the user database.
Also, you cannot remove a user’s key or password if that removal would result in no valid users
having USER access rights.

page 21 and User Set command on page 67.
