ADDGROUP and ADDUSER command limitations with non-native authentication

Question

How to use ADDGROUP and ADDUSER command in cmd and what are the limitations?

Reasoning

SRXConfig allows you to make changes to your server settings via the command line. However, settings related to Users and Groups will only go into effect for servers using native authentication.

Answer

Using the nxcli ADDUSER command shows success on the command line, and add user to Titan Server.

Below are the sample nxcli commands:
