When will SystemLink have the ability to manage user accounts on the target? Ex: cRIO-904x I want to add a non-admin user with a unique password so that I can give some limited control to my customers. Right now the only way to do that is through the web interface. And of course, the web management package for Linux RT is not yet available for install from the SystemLink package feed. The only way to install it is from MAX, which basically means I have to use MAX to install all the SW if I want access to the web management. Is the web management package going to be added to the SystemLink feed? Another useful feature of the target web portal not yet replicated anywhere is the remote file browser. Will that be added to SystemLink?

You can create users and specify passwords using SystemLink States. Attached is a state that creates a user fred with the password foo. You can unzip it and upload the SLS file using the States tab in Systems Manager, edit the user and password, and then apply it using the Software button. You can also hash the password if you don't want it to be in clear text in the state. For more information check out https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.user.html Also, SystemLink's job system has the ability to create, add, remove, read and write files. I'll add an item to backlog to create something like a file browser, but if you can give me a little more detail on what you would like to do specifically, I may be able to create a State or WebVI that you could use in the mean time. For more information check out https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.file.html and https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.file.html As an example, I created the following state to change the master (server) configuration file and reboot my systems. https://github.com/joshuaprewitt/systemlink-state-examples/blob/master/Change%20Master.sls And another example on changing INI configuration files. https://github.com/joshuaprewitt/systemlink-state-examples/blob/master/Configure%20INI%20Setting.sls
