Adding a new user
To add a new user to the system, you must be a member of the admin
group. By default, only the admin user is a member of the admin group.
In this configuration example, a certificate administrator user is added to
the system, and then assigned to the certadmin group. The certificate
administrator specializes in managing certificates and private keys, without
the possibility to change system parameters or configure virtual SSL
servers. A user who is a member of the certadmin group can therefore
access the Certificate menu (
/cfg/cert), but not the SSL Server
1001 menu (/cfg/domain #/server/ssl). On the System menu
(/cfg/sys), the certadmin user has access only to the User submenu
(/cfg/sys/user).
