User Management¶

This section covers user account administration in FloofOS, including creating, modifying, and deleting user accounts.

Overview¶

FloofOS provides a unified command interface for managing user accounts. All user management commands require configuration mode and must be committed to take effect.

Default Users¶

FloofOS ships with two default accounts:

Username	Default Password	Access	Notes
`root`	`floofos`	Console only	SSH disabled by default
`floofos`	`floofos`	Console and SSH	Primary administrative user

Security Best Practice

Change default passwords immediately after deployment.

Creating Users¶

Syntax¶

create user <username> password <password> [ssh-key <public-key>]
commit

Parameters¶

Parameter	Description	Required
`username`	Account username	Yes
`password`	Account password	Yes
`ssh-key`	SSH public key for key-based authentication	No

Example: Create New User¶

create user NOC password SecretPass123
commit

Example: Create User with SSH Key¶

create user NOC password SecretPass123 ssh-key ssh-rsa AAAA...
commit

SSH Key Generation

SSH public keys can be generated using PuTTYgen or ssh-keygen. Paste the complete public key string when configuring.

Changing Passwords¶

Changing Default User Passwords¶

Root Password¶

create user root password YourPass123
commit

FloofOS User Password¶

create user floofos password YourPass1234
commit

Updating Existing User Password¶

To change an existing user's password, re-issue the create user command with the new password:

create user NOC password NewPass123
commit

Password Updates

The create user command automatically detects existing users and updates their credentials instead of creating duplicates. This same method applies to updating SSH keys.

Deleting Users¶

Syntax¶

delete user <username>
commit

Example¶

delete user NOC
commit

Restrictions¶

The root user cannot be deleted
All other users, including the default floofos user, can be deleted

Caution

Ensure at least one administrative user with SSH access remains before deleting the floofos user.

Viewing Users¶

Syntax¶

show users

Displays all FloofCTL user accounts with their username, privilege level, and creation timestamp. Built-in system accounts are marked as (system).

Output Fields¶

Field	Description
Username	Account name
Privilege	User privilege level (admin)
Created	Account creation timestamp or `(system)` for built-in accounts

SSH Key Management¶

For managing SSH keys on existing users without changing passwords, see SSH Service Configuration.

Adding SSH Key to Existing User¶

set service ssh key <username> <public-key>

Removing SSH Key from User¶

delete service ssh key <username>
