creating a new user on Gaia via CLI

where jsmith should be replace with your username

add user

> add user jsmith uid 1005 homedir /home/jsmith

set parameters

> set user jsmith password

set roles

> add rba user jsmith roles adminRole

set access

> add rba user jsmith access-mechanisms Web-UI,CLI

set uid to root

# set user jsmith uid 0

I don't like setting the user to the root UID. I think Check Point made a mess of the auth permissions as they have in the past. Without setting the root uid above, a user can't run fw commmands like "fw stat".
