Step 2: Create a CBH System User

Scenarios

Before using your bastion host for O&M, administrators need to create system users in the bastion host and assign different system roles to them based on their responsibilities.

System users then can access the modules within the permissions.

Only the admin user has the permissions to manage system roles.
