If you choose to run the utility, read the documentation in this section to learn its usage and to understand the risks and potential impact on your environment.

To use the utility, type the following command at the $TIDEWAY/bin/ directory:

tw_adduser [options] username

where:

  • username is the name of the new user.
     If you do not specify a user name, BMC Discovery will use the default, system.
  • options are any of the options described in the following table and the common command line options described in Using-command-line-utilities.

 The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
