When Nessus gets installed on OSX, credentials are created under / 
Library/Nessus/Connections.xml. By default, only users in the admin  
group can read this file - if you're launching the Nessus Client as a  
non-admin, you may do 'chmod 0644 /Library/Nessus/Connections.xml'.

You can also create a user by doing /Library/Nessus/run/nessus- 
adduser from the terminal.
(graphical user management is next on our list of things to do).
