[edit] Download

MikroTik User Manager can be downloaded from the MikroTik download page: MikroTik User Manager The User Manager package is included in the all package file named "Separate packages for Netinstall".

[edit] Install

Perform the usual router upgrade steps - upload the User Manager package to the router's FTP server and reboot the router.

[edit] Create first subscriber

Note: Starting from version 3.0 a default subscriber with login admin and empty password is created when User Manager package is installed for the first time. I.e., admin subscriber is created only if the User Manager package was not installed prior to version 3.0.

If you are using a version prior to 3.0, then the first subscriber must be added using Mikrotik terminal (console). All the configuration is done under the /tool user-manager menu.

To create a subscriber you should go to /tool user-manager customer menu and execute add command. It will ask for the username which you will use.

or you can enter this into the command line:

 [admin@USER_MAN] tool user-manager customer> add login="admin" 
password="PASSWORD" permissions=owner

You can use the following command to change the password for the 'admin' user:

 [admin@USER_MAN] tool user-manager customer set admin password=PASSWORD

After that you can use print command to see what you have added.

 [admin@USER_MAN] tool user-manager customer> print
  Flags: X - disabled
   0   subscriber=admin login="admin" password="adminpassword" time-zone= 00:00
       permissions=owner parent=admin

After that you can use the web interface.

[edit] Use web interface

To log on customer web interface type the following address in your web browser: http://Router_IP_address/userman

where "Router_IP_address" must be replaced with IP address of your router.

Use login and password of the subscriber you have created in console.
