1 Users Overview This module allows you to configure local users and user groups. Local user A local user represents a set of user attributes configured on a device (such as the user password, service type, and authorization attribute), and is uniquely identified by the username. For a user requesting a network service to pass local authentication, you must add an entry as required in the local user database of the device. For details about local authentication, refer to AAA Configuration. User group A user group consists of a group of local users and has a set of local user attributes. You can configure local user attributes for a user group to implement centralized management of user attributes for the local users in the group. All local users in a user group inherit the user attributes of the group, but if you configure user attributes for a local user, the settings of the local user take precedence over the settings for the user group. By default, every newly added local user belongs to a user group named system, which is automatically created by the system.
