Configuring an SSH user
To configure an SSH user that uses publickey authentication, perform the procedure in this section.
If the authentication method is publickey, you must create an SSH user and a local user on the server. To
get the correct working directory and user role, the local user must have the same username as the SSH
user.
If the authentication method is password-publickey or any, you must create an SSH user, and configure
a local user account by using the local-user command for local authentication, or configure an SSH user
account on an authentication server, for example, a RADIUS server, for remote authentication. In either
case, the local user or the SSH user configured for remote authentication must have the same username
as the SSH user.
For the authentication method is password, you do not need to perform the procedure in this section to
configure them unless you want to use the display ssh user-information command to display all SSH
users, including the password-only SSH users, for centralized management. If such an SSH user has been
created, make sure you have specified the correct service type and authentication method.

For an SFTP or SCP user, the working directory depends on the authentication method:
{
If the authentication method is password, the working directory is authorized by AAA.
{
If the authentication method is publickey or password-publickey, the working folder is specified
by the authorization-attribute command in the associated local user view.
•
For an SFTP or Stelnet user, the user role also depends on the authentication method:
