How to add users to redis?

Question

As my title, I want to add a user who has only read permission to my redis server, like several users in mysql.

However, I just found one way to add password to the default, modify /etc/redis/redis.conf file of line # requirepass foobared.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Currently (up to v3.2) Redis doesn't provide the ability to define users. As you've learned, there's only one user that may be protected with the optional password.
