How can we create account for web GUI of Firepower4000

[hooni86]

Hi we are currently using Firepower4000.

Before web GUI account has been reset we generally use it for maintenance.

We have no idea about the process of creating a new account.

At this moment we can connect to this device with admin account by Securecrt.

However, as we said we barely familiar to use device linux os.

Could you guide us how we can create account for web cli and process to give authority to account to work on this web GUI

In case i attched both of screenshots.

Thanks.

If you're looking to create a new user account for your Cisco Firepower 4000 series device and grant it the necessary permissions, you can follow the steps below.

1. Connect to the device using your admin account through SecureCRT or any other SSH client.

2. Enter the command-line interface mode by typing the following command:

   firepower# configure terminal
   

3. Create a new user account by typing the following command:

   firepower(config)# username <username> password <password>
   

   Replace <username> and <password> with the desired username and password for the new account.

4. To set the user privilege level, type the following command:

   firepower(config)# username <username> privilege <level>
   

   Replace <username> with the username of the new account and <level> with the desired privilege level. The privilege level can range from 1 to 15, where 15 is the highest level of privileges (equivalent to an admin account).

5. To allow the new user to access the web-based management interface, type the following command:

   firepower(config)# username <username> attributes
   firepower(config-username-attributes)# service-type admin
   

   This command sets the new user's service type to 'admin', allowing access to the web-based GUI.

6. To save the changes, type the following command:

   firepower(config)# end
   firepower# write memory
   

   Your new user account should now be set up and ready to use.

Please, make sure to replace <username>, <password>, and <level> with actual values you want to use. Be aware that these steps require a certain level of familiarity with the command-line interface of networking devices. If you're not comfortable performing these steps, it might be best to consult with a network administrator.
