User Manager policies

Fri Dec 27, 2013 11:15 am

This is a repost from the user manager boards. I have had no answer there and was hoping maybe a new thread here would help.
My company currently has all of our Engineers using the admin account in our MikroTik routers. We have added several new people lately and this growth has prompted the need to trace any changes that were made back to the person responsible. Rather than go to each of our 30+ routers individually and add an account (or remove an account if an employee leaves) we decided the best option was to setup User Manager in order to validate our RouterOS logins. I have userma setup and running on an old RB1000 running 5.26 and I have setup an account which I can login with, however I have noticed a couple things:

1: I do not have access to any terminal (telnet, ssh, or within winbox). I receive a login prompt when i connect but it will not authenticate. Every other task can be performed as normal.
2: I do not see a way to set different policies to the user accounts. Currently the default group is set to full, so all users would have complete access to the router (with the above exception). I would like to be able to specify additional group policies so my techs can have read access, and my backups have their own special access. Am I missing something, or is this something that userman just cannot do?

Any information would be helpful, thanks.

I take it either a) no one uses user manager b) no one has tried to do what I am attempting or c) this is like the dude and a feature that is heavily ignored and MikroTik is hoping it will just disappear one day.

This is an issue I would like to see a reply on. It has been several weeks since I posted my initial question and the problem I was seeing. I response would be most appreciated. I am sure that someone has to have tired this before and if not replicating the console/terminal issue is super simple (less than 5 min to setup).
