Adding a New User

To add a new user to the system, you must be a member of the

admin

group. By default, only the

admin

user is a member of the

admin

group.

In this configuration example, a Certificate Administrator user is added to
the system, and then assigned to the

certadmin

group. The Certificate

Administrator is supposed to specialize in managing certificates and
private keys, without the possibility to change system parameters or
configure virtual SSL servers. A user who is a member of the

certadmin

group can therefore access the Certificate menu (

/cfg/cert

), but not

the SSL Server menu (

/cfg/ssl/server

). Access to the System menu

(

/cfg/sys

) is limited, and entails access only to the User Access Control

submenu (

/cfg/sys/user

).
