Creating the administrator account

You must create an initial system administrator account in all of the MSSP organizations.

Before you begin

The MSSP organizations must be created before creating the administrator account.

About this task

For help on the resutil newuser command, enter sudo resutil newuser -help

Do not use the createorg parameter with the resutil newuser command as it is not currently supported.

Procedure

  1. Enter the following command in the SSH client to create a system administrator account: 
    sudo resutil newuser -email <jsmith@example.com> -first <John> -last <Smith> -org <your_mssp_org>
  2. Repeat the previous step for each MSSP organization that you created, including the global dashboard and the configuration organization.

Results

The initial account is now created. You can create subsequent MSSP user accounts without permissions and manually assign to user groups to assign permissions.
