User

Use the following CLI syntax to copy a user.

config>system>security# copy {user source-user | profile source-profile} to destination [overwrite]

Example: Command usage

  config>system>security# copy user testuser to testuserA
	MINOR: CLI User "testuserA" already exists - use overwrite flag.
	config>system>security#
	config>system>security# copy user testuser to testuserA overwrite
	config>system>security#

Example: Copied user configuration output

The cannot-change-password flag is not replicated when a copy user command is performed. A new-password-at-login flag is created instead.

Example

A:ALA-12>config>system>security>user# info
----------------------------------------------
password "F6XjryaATzM" hash
access snmp
console
cannot-change-password 
exit
snmp
authentication hash md5 e14672e71d3e96e7a1e19472527ee969 privacy none
group "testgroup"
exit
----------------------------------------------
A:ALA-12>config>system>security>user# exit
A:ALA-12>config>system>security# user testuserA
A:ALA-12>config>system>security>user# info
----------------------------------------------
password "" hash2
access snmp
console
new-password-at-login
exit
snmp
authentication hash md5 e14672e71d3e96e7a1e19472527ee969 privacy none
group "testgroup"
