In addition to a username and password, user accounts have these properties:

  • Full name. The full name can be used to identify the user for whom the account was created. This name must be 1 through 256 characters long and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space.
  • Description (optional). The description can be at most 1,024 characters long and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space.
  • Whether the account is enabled or disabled. While an account is disabled, it cannot be used for any purpose.

    User accounts can be disabled automatically due to consecutive failed login attempts. As a security administrator, you might choose to disable a user account manually, for example, while the user for whom you created the account is on leave.

  • Whether the password for the account expires automatically based on the S Series Node security setting for password expiration.
  • Whether the account password must be changed before the account can be used for any purpose other than to change the password (that is, whether the password has expired).
  • Roles that determine which interfaces the user can use with the user account and what the user can do with those interfaces. Every user account must be associated with at least one role.
