==Summary==
<p id="shbox"><b>Sub-menu:</b> <code>/user</code></p>
 
 
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==
<p id="shbox"><b>Sub-menu:</b> <code>/user group</code></p>
 
The router user groups provide a convenient way to assign different permissions and access rights to different user classes.

===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, [[Configuration_Management#System_Backup|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:
<pre>
[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] >
</pre>
 
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:
<pre>
[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>
</pre>
 
==Router Users==
<p id="shbox"><b>Sub-menu:</b> <code>/user</code></p>
<br />
 
Router user database stores the information such as username, password, allowed access addresses and group about router management personnel.

===Notes===
 
There is one predefined user with full access rights:
<pre>
[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>
</pre>
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.

==Remote AAA==
<p id="shbox"><b>Sub-menu:</b> <code>/user aaa</code></p>
 
Router user remote AAA enables router user authentication and accounting via RADIUS server. The RADIUS user database is consulted only if the required username is not found in the local user database
 
 
===Properties===
 
{{Mr-arg-table-h
|prop=Property

{{Mr-arg-table
|arg=exclude-groups
|type=list of group names
|default=
|desc=Exclude-groups consists of the groups that should not be allowed to be used
for users authenticated by radius. If radius server provides group specified in
this list, default-group will be used instead.
 
 
This is to protect against privilege escalation when one user (without policy
permission) can change radius server list, setup it's own radius server and
log in as admin.
