Which command creates a read-only user for monitoring named 'monitor' with password 'secure'?

• A. /user add name=monitor group=read password=secure
• B. /user add name=monitor group=admin password=secure
• C. /user add name=monitor password=secure group=read
• D. /user add name=monitor pass=secure group=read

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is to create a user with read-only privileges and a password. In MikroTik RouterOS, you grant specific access by choosing the right privilege group and you set login credentials with the password parameter. The correct form explicitly names the user, assigns the read-only group, and provides the password, which makes the account a non-privileged monitoring user with secure access: /user add name=monitor group=read password=secure. This uses the proper parameter names and ensures the user cannot modify configurations while still being able to monitor. The other options fail for clear reasons: one would grant administrative rights by assigning the admin group, which defeats the read-only purpose; another uses an incorrect parameter name (pass instead of password), so it wouldn’t create a valid user.
