User Accounts
Every Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch user has the account information stored by the system. Your
authentication information, user name, user password, password expiration date, and role membership
are stored in your user profile.
The tasks explained in this section enable you to create users and modify the profile of an existing user.
These tasks are restricted to privileged users as determined by your administrator.

Verify that the role database is identical on all switches in the entire fabric.
Be sure to edit the role database on any switch to the desired database and then commit it. This
synchronizes the role databases on all the switches in the fabric.
