3.1.5.5 Privilege Levels
All commands that can be executed using the CLI are assigned privilege levels
between 0 and 10, where 0 is the lowest, and 10 is the highest. In addition, each
user is assigned a privilege level; the user can access only those commands for
which the privilege level is the same or lower than the user’s privilege level.
The default user, admin, is assigned privilege level 10. However, if you are logging
in as admin, you can execute certain additional commands for managing users
and enabling passwords for privilege levels. For more information about managing
users and privileges, refer to Section 3.1.6.
3.1.6 Managing Users and Privileges
To enable multi-level access to the CLI, you can create and manage multiple
users, and assign privilege levels for each user. The privilege level determines
whether a user is authorized to execute a particular command. The privilege level
is pre-configured for each command, and can be between 0 and 10, where 0 is the
lowest and 10 is the highest. The user can execute all commands for which the
privilege level is equal to or lower than the default privilege level assigned to the
user.
You can also configure passwords for each privilege level. Users with lower
privilege levels can enter this password to enable higher privilege levels.

privilege levels.
