Users

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 more information about local authentication, see the chapter "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.
