Description
This command is used to create new manager accounts on the
management module. For background information, refer to “Overview” on
page 216.
After you enter the command, you are prompted for the password for the
new account. A password can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters
and is case sensitive. Spaces and special characters in a password are
not recommended. The management software prompts twice for the
password for verification. The password is stored in the active master
configuration file using MD5 encryption.

privilege level of read-write. Prompts for the password for the new account
are displayed after the command is entered:
user add username=Smith privilege=readwrite
