Parameter Notes
c admin
t users
oper add
name Name of the user. This is used as the login id
dname Display name of the user
pass Password for the user
rights

User access rights. To create an administrative user, use 65535. For other users logically OR one or more of the following.

  • 01: Allow the user to view data
  • 02: Allow the user to edit domain and sub-domain data
  • 04: Allow the user to add domains and sub-domains
  • 08: Allow the user to delete domains and sub-domains
  • 16: Allow the user to trigger unscheduled lookups
  • 32: Allow the user to make UI Changes
status The status of the user, 0 for in-active and 1 for active.
acslevel

The access level for the user. This is a number between 0 and 32. The user can view data columns with an equal or less access level. You can assign an access level to any of the domain data columns to restrict access to that column.

By default all data columns have an access level of zero.

All administrative users have an access level of 24, so it is possible to block some data columns from displaying altogether by assigning an access level of 25 or above. You can always change the access level to re-enable the columns.

cids Comma separated category ids the user has access to.
list Optional. Set it to yes to get information on all existing users (after the user has been added)
