New users may be added to a VyOS system using the following commands:

vyos@vyos-rtr:~$ configure
vyos@vyos-rtr# set system login user jsmith full-name "John Smith"
vyos@vyos-rtr# set system login user jsmith authentication plaintext-password examplepassword
vyos@vyos-rtr# set system login user jsmith level admin
vyos@vyos-rtr# commit
vyos@vyos-rtr# save


This will create a new user with the username jsmith  and the password examplepassword . This user will have admin privileges; to create an operator-level user, replace admin  with operator in the second to last line.

You may also wish to configure SSH public key authentication for this user at this time.
