Using Tool -> Winbox, later specify user

At this point the only way to open the winbox from Dude is to specify the user and password in the device. Is there a way I could get it so someone right clicks the device, then goes to Tools → Winbox and can specify their own user name and password?

The user I have set in configuration is a read only user to read stats. I would really prefer each person their own login when connecting to each router/AP rather then one login accessed through the Dude.

Thanks in advance!

you can configure your own tool - just make a tool to run winbox with parameters of address (that will be a variable) and username. so you could make one tool for running winbox without a username entered, and one that runs winbox with a specific other username, for example

I wasn’t even aware you could do custom tools, excellent! Is there a way I can add this custom tool to every single device rather then having to manually go through every single one and add this custom tool?

My custom tool simply executes this:

winbox.exe [Device.FirstAddress]

of course you can

go into tools (on the left panel), add a new one, set the command that you want to run, and then specify which types of devices this tool will be for - you can also select All, which is the default

Wow that’s great!

Thanks a bunch, Normis!
