Creates an administration account.
Unless you specify pools for the administrator to manage or read-only privilege, the account will be a group administrator account with the ability to manage the entire group and all pools.
When you create an account, you will be prompted for an account password. An account password must be between 3 and 16 alphanumeric characters and is case-sensitive. (Only the first 8 characters are validated).
Format
account create account_name [parameter ...]
Note: The request for an account password is handled separately from the command line input. You will be prompted for a password and to confirm the password. The password is not displayed on the screen.
Variable

Account name, up to 64 alphanumeric characters. Valid characters include letters, numbers, dot, hyphen, and underscore. First character must be a letter or number. Names are not case-sensitive. For example, ADMIN and admin are treated as the same name. |
