upsd.users - Administrative user definitions for NUT upsd
!!DESCRIPTION


Administrative commands such as setting variables and the
instant commands are powerful, and access to them needs to
be restricted. This file defines who may access them, and
what is available.


Each user gets its own section. The fields in that section
set the parameters associated with that user's privileges.
The section begins with the name of the user in brackets,
and continues until the next user name in brackets or
EOF.


Two example entries might look like this:


     [[admin]
password = mypass
allowfrom = admworkstation admhome
actions = set
instcmds = all
[[pfy]
password = duh
allowfrom = gameosbox
instcmds = fptest
!!FIELDS


password


Set the password for this user.


allowfrom


Grant access to the user based on the source IP address. The
values for this field are the names of your ACLs in the
ups.conf(5).


actions


Allow the user to do certain things with upsd. Valid actions
are:


SET - change the value of certain variables in the
UPS


The list of actions is expected to grow in the
future.


instcmds


Let a user initiate specific instant commands. Use


FPTEST - Front panel test


BTEST0 - Stop battery test


BTEST1 - Start battery test


CAL0 - Stop calibration


CAL1 - Start calibration
!!NEW FORMAT


This file's format had to be forcibly changed to dump an
evil and confusing scheme that required duplicating elements
far too often.


upsd(8) doesn't know how to parse the old format.
Once you install the new upsd, you must rewrite this file to
use the new section-based style as documented
above.
