Summary
Sub-menu: /user
MikroTik RouterOS router user facility manage the users connecting the router from the local console, via serial terminal, telnet, SSH or Winbox. The users are authenticated using either local database or designated RADIUS server.
Each user is assigned to a user group, which denotes the rights of this user. A group policy is a combination of individual policy items.
In case the user authentication is performed using RADIUS, the RADIUS Client should be previously configured.
User Groups
Sub-menu: /user group
The router user groups provide a convenient way to assign different permissions and access rights to different user classes.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| name (string; Default: ) | The name of the user group |
| policy (local | telnet | ssh | ftp | reboot | read | write | policy | test | winbox | password | web | sniff | sensitive | api | romon | dude | tikapp; Default: none) | List of allowed policies:
Login policies:
Config Policies:
|
| skin (name; Default: default) | Used skin for WebFig |
Sensitive information
Starting with RouterOS v3.27, the following information is regarded as sensitive, and can be hidden from certain user groups with the 'sensitive' policy unchecked.
Also, since RouterOS v4.3, backup files are considered sensitive, and users without this policy will not be able to download them in any way.

Default groups
There are three system groups which cannot be deleted:
[admin@rb13] > /user group print 0 name="read" policy=local,telnet,ssh,reboot,read,test,winbox,password,web,sniff,sensitive,api,romon,tikapp,!ftp,!write,!policy,!dude skin=default 1 name="write" policy=local,telnet,ssh,reboot,read,write,test,winbox,password,web,sniff,sensitive,api,romon,tikapp,!ftp,!policy,!dude skin=default 2 name="full" policy=local,telnet,ssh,ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,web,sniff,sensitive,api,romon,dude,tikapp skin=default [admin@rb13] >
Please note, that even the "read" group includes sensitive, reboot and other important polcies, meaning that this group should not be given to untrusted users. For true limited groups, make a custom group, defining specific policies. All groups have access to file operations.
Exclamation sign '!' just before policy item name means NOT.
Example
To add reboot group that is allowed to reboot the router locally or using telnet, as well as read the router's configuration, enter the following command:
[admin@rb13] user group> add name=reboot policy=telnet,reboot,read,local [admin@rb13] user group> print 0 name="read" policy=local,telnet,ssh,reboot,read,test,winbox,password,web,sniff,sensitive,api,romon,tikapp,!ftp,!write,!policy,!dude skin=default 1 name="write" policy=local,telnet,ssh,reboot,read,write,test,winbox,password,web,sniff,sensitive,api,romon,tikapp,!ftp,!policy,!dude skin=default 2 name="full" policy=local,telnet,ssh,ftp,reboot,read,write,policy,test,winbox,password,web,sniff,sensitive,api,romon,dude,tikapp skin=default 3 name="reboot" policy=local,telnet,reboot,read,!ssh,!ftp,!write,!policy,!test,!winbox,!password,!web,!sniff,!sensitive,!api,!romon,!dude,!tikapp skin=default [admin@rb13] user group>
Router Users
Sub-menu: /user
Router user database stores the information such as username, password, allowed access addresses and group about router management personnel.
Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| address (IP/mask | IPv6 prefix; Default: ) | Host or network address from which the user is allowed to log in |
| group (string; Default: ) | Name of the group the user belongs to |
| name (string; Default: ) | User name. Although it must start with an alphanumeric character, it may contain "*", "_", "." and "@" symbols. |
| password (string; Default: ) | User password. If not specified, it is left blank (hit [Enter] when logging in). It conforms to standard Unix characteristics of passwords and may contain letters, digits, "*" and "_" symbols. |
| last-logged-in (time and date; Default: "") | Read-only field. Last time and date when user logged in. |
Notes
There is one predefined user with full access rights:
[admin@MikroTik] user> print
Flags: X - disabled
# NAME GROUP ADDRESS LAST-LOGGED-IN
0 ;;; system default user
admin full 0.0.0.0/0 dec/08/2010 16:19:24
[admin@MikroTik] user>
There always should be at least one user with full access rights. If the user with full access rights is the only one, it cannot be removed.
Monitoring Active Users

/user active print command shows the currently active users along with respective statisics information.
Properties
All properties are read-only.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|

| group (string) | Group that user belongs to. |
| name (string) | User name. |
| radius (true | false) | Whether user is authenticated by RADIUS server. |
| via (local | telnet | ssh |winbox | api | web | tikapp | ftp) | User's access method |

Example
To print currently active users, enter the following command:
[admin@dzeltenais_burkaans] /user active> print detail Flags: R - radius 0 when=dec/08/2010 16:19:24 name="admin" address=10.5.8.52 via=winbox group=full 2 when=dec/09/2010 09:23:04 name="admin" address=10.5.101.38 via=telnet group=full 3 when=dec/09/2010 09:34:27 name="admin" address=fe80::21a:4dff:fe5d:8e56 via=api group=full
