   Based on specific service requirements, super administrators can create different levels of user accounts to grant them only necessary operation permissions, thereby ensuring system stability and data security.

   • Set Type to Local user, and configure the local user information. Table 1 describes related parameters.

The minimum length varies according to the Username Policy in Security Policies. For details, see Configuring Security Policies. The name can contain letters, digits, and underscores (_) and must start with a letter. The name must be unique. You can modify the user name policy in Security Policies.
