Understand User Accounts and Permissions

Junos OS can be configured to support any number of user accounts. Each user account has an access level for which you can define the login name and, optionally, information that identifies the user. After you create an account, the software creates a home directory in the file system for the user.

In this topic, it is assumed that user accounts and permissions are configured on the router. For more detailed information about creating a user account and configuring permissions, see the Junos Network Management Configuration Guide.
