You can manage NSX Manager user accounts through an NSX appliance's CLI. This topic describes how the admin user manages user account details using the CLI. Alternately, you can also use the UI.
The admin user can manage passwords, change the name of the admin and other users, and add, delete, or deactivate users. Any user account change is audited.
For extended access, see Manage Local User Accounts.
The audit user has read privileges to the NSX environment and is not active by default unless the audit password is provided during NSX installation. To activate the audit user after installation, use the UI or log in as admin to the CLI and run the set user audit password command and provide a new password.
By default, user passwords expire after 90 days. You can change or deactivate the password expiration for each user.
When an NSX Manager user password is within 30 days of expiring, the NSX Manager UI displays a password notification after logging in. The notification includes a Change Password link. To change the password, click the link.
For CLI details, see the NSX Command-Line Interface Reference.
