User editing is easier than creating a new user. Now I will show you how to edit your existing users. Sometimes you may need to edit your existing user’s property. Put user password in Password input box and retype your password in Confirm Password input box.Ī new user has been created successfully.You can also assign multiple IP address by clicking right side arrow sign. If you want to assign IP address, put it in Allowed Address input box. Optionally you can assign user IP address from which he is allowed to login to the system.Now choose your user’s permission level what you want from Group dropdown menu. I will discuss about custom permission level and their privileges in the next section elaborately. Full permission means an administrator user who has all privileges, read permission will allow only view the configuration and write permission will allow all the privileges except ftp and policy permission. By default three permission levels are present: full, read and write. Choose user permission from Group dropdown menu.Now put username or login name in Name input field.Click on PLUS SIGN (+) to create a new user.
In Winbox software, users will be found in System > Users menu item and the following steps will show how to create a RouterOS user with Winbox software. So, as a network admin of MikroTik Router it is your first duty to know how to manage MikroTik RouterOS users properly. Without proper user management it is impossible to maintain MikroTik administration level as well as MikroTik security because most of the cases MikroTik Router will function in public network and thousands of hackers in public network will try to destroy your MikroTik Router configuration. MikroTik RouterOS has a local user database which defines how to create login user and how to assign their permission. In my few future articles, I will discuss how to maintain these users with MikroTik UserManager Radius server. UserManager is an implementation of Radius server that is used to maintain not only RouterOS users but also PPPoE, PPTP, Hotspot, Wireless and DHCP users.
UserManager is an optional and totally separate package distributed by MikroTik. Don’t be confused the title User Management with the MikroTik UserManager. MikroTik User Management plays an important role in MikroTik system administration as well as MikroTik security.
