HP StorageWorks SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide 17
2 User Account Configuration
User accounts and their respective passwords are the first line of switch security. A user account consists of
an account name, an authority level, and an expiration date. Switches come from the factory with certain
user accounts defined for special purposes. Table 2 describes these accounts, their passwords, and their
purpose. These accounts cannot be deleted from the switch.
Displaying user account information
You can display all user accounts defined on the switch (user accounts command) or just those user
accounts that are logged on (user list or show users commands).
The following example displays all user accounts defined on the switch. Account information includes
account name, authority, and expiration date.
