Adding New Users

You can use the User Management page to add new users to the device’s local database. For each account, you define a login name and password for the user and specify a login class for access privileges.

To configure users:

1. In the J-Web interface, select Configure>System Properties>User Management.
2. Click Edit. The Edit User Management dialog box appears.
3. Select the Users tab.
4. Click Add to add a new user. The Add User dialog box appears.
5. In the User name field, enter a unique name for the user.

   Do not include spaces, colons, or commas in the username.

6. In the User ID field, enter a unique ID for the user.
7. In the Full Name field, enter the user’s full name.

   If the full name contains spaces, enclose it in quotation marks. Do not include colons or commas.

8. In the Password and Confirm Password fields, enter a login password for the user and verify your entry. The login password must meet the following criteria:
   • The password must be at least 6 characters long.
   • You can include most character classes in a password (alphabetic, numeric, and special characters), except control characters.
   • The password must contain at least one change of case or character class.
9. From the Login Class list, select the user’s access privilege:
   • operator
   • read-only
   • unauthorized

   This list also includes any user-defined login classes. For more information, see the Junos OS System Basics Configuration Guide.

10. Click OK in the Add User dialog box and Edit User Management dialog box.
