Create a New User-Role User Account

Create a new user account and associate with a user role that can run all show and other basic CLI commands.

Before you begin

You must have the admin role to create a new user account that has the user role.

Be sure to observe the following guidelines as you create the user account:

Table 1. User-account guidelines
User-defined variables	Values
`username`	1-40 alphanumeric characters, including underscore and dot. Underscore as first character is not allowed.
`rolename`	Pre-defined role to be assigned to the user (‘admin‘ and ‘user‘ are the only supported roles).
`password`	Clear-text: 8-40 characters for plain-text password. Encrypted: 8-128 for hashed passwords.
`encryption-level`	0 = clear-text (default). 10 = encrypted.

Run the configure terminal command to access Config mode.
The command line changes to configuration mode.
```
device(config)# 
```

Create the user-role account using the following commands.

username username role rolename password password

device(config)# username jdoe role user password iKt1Sas*p
