You can change the description only on user-level accounts. You cannot change the description
of the default accounts. You cannot change the description of your own account.
7. Cli c k th e Enabled or Disabled radio button to enable or disable the account.
You can enable and disable user- and admin-level accounts except for your own account. You
cannot enable or disable your own account or the factory account. Only the root account can
disable itself. If you disable an account, all active CLI sessions for that account are logged out.
8. Check the available Admin Domains that the user can access. Only Admin Domains that have
already been created and to which you have access are displayed.
If all the Admin Domains in the list are inactive then you can’t login to the switch.
The All option does not mean all of the listed Admin Domains; it means all Admin Domains
from AD0 through AD255, regardless of whether they have been created yet.
The All radio button is disabled unless the following conditions are met:
• The selected role for the target user must be admin or securityadmin.
• You must be a physical fabric administrator.
Selecting All makes the target user account a physical fabric administrator.
9. Select a home domain for the user from the Home AD drop-down menu.
If AD0 is deselected in the user’s Admin Domain list and no other Admin Domains have been
selected, the next available Admin Domain becomes the user’s default home Admin Domain.
10. Click OK and click Apply to apply your changes.
