Avaya G450 Branch Gateway CLI Reference

username

Last Updated : Dec 09, 2022 |

Use the username command to add a local user account. Use the no form of the command to remove the user account from the system.

By default there is only a single user account named “root”, with the root password, which accesses the administrator level. You cannot delete this basic user account unless you have created a different administrator. You cannot modify the access level of the basic user account.

Note:

Removing the root user may disable access to the gateway, as the root account is the only account to which lockout, inactivity, and password aging mechanisms are not applied.

Important:

For security reasons, you must change the default root account password immediately.

Ensure that the password does not contain the username.

Syntax

username[name] access-type [access_type]
