Configuring Privilege Levels
Privilege levels restrict access to commands based on user or terminal line.
There are 16 privilege levels, of which three are pre-defined. The default privilege level is 1.
Level
Description
Level 0 Access to the system begins at EXEC mode, and EXEC mode commands are limited to enable,
disable, and exit.
Level 1 Access to the system begins at EXEC mode, and all commands are available.
Level 15 Access to the system begins at EXEC Privilege mode, and all commands are available.
For information about how access and authorization is controlled based on a user’s role, see Role-Based Access Control.
Creating a Custom Privilege Level
Custom privilege levels start with the default EXEC mode command set. You can then customize privilege levels 2-14 by:
● restricting access to an EXEC mode command
● moving commands from EXEC Privilege to EXEC mode
● restricting access
A user can access all commands at his privilege level and below.
