    Manage Zabbix users from Linux cli

    Is there a way to add/remove/modify Zabbix users from the Linux command prompt (CLI ) ?

    I currently have full root access to the server but don't know the current unrestricted admin login creds in the Zabbix GUI. ( Don't really want them)
    I have a regular user login that was created this morning by a coworker and a restricted admin login but my new user login was created without permissions to do anything but was intended to allow me to add hosts, change tags, and switch from just ICMP to using Zabbix agents on hosts that had the client installed.

    As it sits, when I log in as my new user I can't see ANY hosts nor host groups so I obviously can't do anything within Zabbix using this new user.

    The other Admin is on the other side of the world and asleep right now so I am stuck without a command line method for modifying the permissions of my new zabbix user login.

    We are still in the process of adding all of the hosts from our sites to Zabbix and installing agents so we can switch from ICMP to Zabbix agents.

    Ok, thanks. I didn't get in yesterday so I had to find other stuff to do for 6 hours instead of adding more amchines to Zabbix.

    Today my privledges were raised so I am good to go. At least now I know it is not a trivial things even as a root user to change the Zabbix user setttings without the Zabbix superuser+ creds.
