Privilege Levels for Using Commands and Statements

Each CLI command and each configuration statement has an access privilege level associated with it. Users can execute only those commands and configure and view only those statements for which they have access privileges.

For example, users with configure permissions can use the configure command to enter configuration mode, and users with network permissions can access the network by using the telnet and shh commands. The root login account has superuser privileges—with access to all commands and statements.

NOTE: Although root has superuser privileges, the editing level for root is set to normal. For information about the editing level, see Chapter 9, Controlling the CLI Environment.

Required privilege levels are listed in command and statement summaries. For more information about setting user accounts and privileges, see the SRC-PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 19, Configuring User Access.
