Users

Rockstor supports local user adds, edits and deletes. All local users added by Rockstor have UIDs starting from 5001. If local users must be added to the appliance, ensure that their UIDs are below 5001. Rockstor does not support configuration of users that are not added using Rockstor user interfaces (web-ui, CLI and API).
