Creating an administrator account on Panorama using Pan-OS Python SDK kit

Hey guys,

Hope all of you are doing well.

I recently started using the panos python module to interact and automate some of the things I'm doing on Panorama GUI. I wanted to know how to add a administrator account using the device.administrator class. This is the code I have written as of now:

from panos.panorama import Panorama

from panos import objects

from panos import device

# connect to panorama

pano = Panorama('ip_addr', 'name', 'password')

myDevice = device.Administrator(name = 'testcase', authentication_profile = 'organization_based', device_admin_read_only = True, password_hash = 'adminaccounttest1')

pano.add(myDevice)

#pano.find(myDevice)

myDevice.create()

pano.commit('password')

Thanks a lot!

The password hash has to be created using the function:

Alternatively, you can use this to create the password and use the value returned as the panos.device.Administrator.password_hash value:
