Activate management privileges.

Syntax

login [username]

Command Switches
None

Parameters

username

Name of the account under which to log in.

Description

Popstore users who have popstore management privileges but lack operating system privileges must log in to their account with the login command in order to perform management operations. Once logged in, the utility will then allow the user to perform management operations. Users who have operating system privileges need not log in to their account. To log in to a popstore account, the popstore account's username should be supplied using the username parameter to the login command. If the username parameter is omitted, the utility will use the name of the operating system account under which the user is logged in. The utility will then prompt for a password. If the correct password for the popstore account is supplied, and the account has the manage flag set, then the utility will allow management operations to be undertaken using the utility's image privileges. A popstore account is granted management privileges by specifying

-flags=manage

when creating or modifying it with the add or modify commands. See also the logout command.

Examples

To log in to the account bob, issue the command

popstore> login bob Password: santaclaus Login succeeded; management capabilities enabled
