site adduser

Description

Add a user account to the server. Site operators can choose which group the user is added to. If a group administrator is adding a new user with this command, their user_slots count will be decreased as appropriate. All new users will be given a home directory equal to default_home, as defined in the configuration file. A default ratio of 1:3 is also assigned to the new user.

Syntax

site adduser <user> <password> [<group>] [<backend>] 

Detailed information on the options/arguments: <user>, <password>, <group>, <backend>

Limitations

• If you are a gadmin, you can only add users to your own group.
• The newly created account will not have any IP addresses assigned to it, and therefore will not be allowed to login. You will need to use the site addip command to assign one or more IP addresses to the new account.
