Create an FMOS User

This procedure only creates an FMOS user. To create a SIP user, you'll need to log in to the Administration module.

Recommendation: It is recommended that you create an additional admin user account in case the password for the initial admin user account is lost.

FMOS includes a utility for managing users and privileges called fmos user. Using this tool, users with the FireMon Administrator role can create and delete users as well as grant and revoke privileges.

To create a new user, use the fmos user create command. The program will prompt for some basic information about the user, including user name, full name, and password. In addition, it will ask which roles the user should hold.

fmos user create

Username: fmosuser

Full Name: FMOS User

Select privileges:

FireMon Administrator? [y/N]

Backup Operator? [y/N]

Password:

Confirm Password:

Successfully created user 'fmosuser'

You must replace the example Username and Full Name with one that meets your user name requirements.

A FireMon Administrator does not need to be a Backup Operator, nor does a Backup Operator need to be a FireMon Administrator. The roles can be separate or combined.

If you have enabled password complexity, you must enter a strong 8-character password that must contain one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one number, and one other symbol character. Using a character delimiter, such as \ or . or , can result in the password not saving correctly.

Answers to each prompt can also be provided using command-line arguments:

fmos user create fmosuser -n 'FMOS User' -p fmadmin

Recommendation: It is recommended that you create an additional admin user account in case the password for the initial admin user account is lost.
