Managing the local database user accounts

User add, change, and delete operations are subject to the subset rule: an admin with ADlist 0- 1 0 cannot
perform operations on an admin, user, or any role with an ADlist 1 1-25. The user account being changed
must have an ADlist that is a subset of the account that is making the change.

About the default accounts

Fabric OS provides the following predefined accounts in the local switch user database. The password for
all default accounts should be changed during the initial installation and configuration for each switch.
Table 1 1 lists default local user accounts.

Defining local user accounts

In addition to the default administrative and user accounts, Fabric OS supports up to 252 user-defined
accounts in each logical switch (domain). These accounts expand your ability to track account access and
audit administrative activities.
The following procedures can be performed on local user accounts. Administrators can act on another
account only if that account has an Admin Domain list that is a subset of the administrator.
To display account information:
1. Connect to the switch and log in using an admin account.
2. Enter the appropriate show operands for the account information you want to display:
• userConfig
