   Table 1 Local UNIX authentication user parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Indicates the name of the local UNIX authentication user. NOTE: The name must be unique. The name can contain only letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), periods (.), and dollar signs ($), and cannot start with a hyphen (-) or dollar sign ($). The name contains 1 to 64 characters.
   ID	Indicates the ID of the local UNIX authentication user.
   Primary Group	Indicates the primary user group to which the local UNIX authentication user belongs. You can click Select and select a user group on the Select Primary Group page that is displayed.
   Description	Indicates the description of the local UNIX authentication user. NOTE: The description can be left blank or contain up to 255 characters.
   Secondary Groups	Click on the right of Secondary Groups. In the Available Secondary Groups list, select secondary groups and add them to the Selected Secondary Groups list. NOTE: The concepts of the primary group and secondary group are for local authentication users and have no relationship with each other. A local authentication user must belong to a primary group, but does not necessarily belong to a secondary group. After a secondary group is added to or deleted from a local user, the secondary group of the local user in the NFS extended group can be updated 5 minutes later.
