Chapter 5: CPS Commands 81
User Set command
The User Set command changes a user’s configuration in the CPS user
database. For more information, see Managing Users, Connecting to devices
using SSH and Access rights in Chapter 3.
You may delete a user’s password or key; however, each user must have a
password or a key, so you cannot remove both. Also, you cannot remove a user’s
password or key if that action would result in no users having USER access rights.
Access right: None to change your own password, USER to change anything
else; Access level: None to change your own password, A and AA to change
anything else
Syntax
USER SET <username> [PASSWORD=<pwd>] [SSHKEY=<keyfile>]
[FTPIP=<ftpadd>] [KEY=<sshkey>] [ACCESS=<access>]
