Administrator Guide

1. Create a new user role
CONFIGURATION mode
userrole name [inherit existing-role-name]
2. Verify that the new user role has inherited the security administrator permissions.
Dell(conf)#do show userroles
EXEC Privilege mode
3. After you create a user role, configure permissions for the new user role. See Modifying Command Permissions for Roles.
Example of Creating a User Role
The configuration in the following example creates a new user role, myrole, which inherits the security administrator (secadmin)
permissions.
Create a new user role, myrole and inherit security administrator permissions.
Dell(conf)#userrole myrole inherit secadmin
Verify that the user role, myrole, has inherited the security administrator permissions. The output highlighted in bold indicates that the
user role has successfully inherited the security administrator permissions.
Dell(conf)#do show userroles

Modifying Command Permissions for Roles
You can modify (add or delete) command permissions for newly created user roles and system defined roles using the role mode
{ { { addrole | deleterole } role-name } | reset } command command in Configuration mode.
NOTE: You cannot modify system administrator command permissions.
If you add or delete command permissions using the role command, those changes only apply to the specific user role. They do not apply
to other roles that have inheritance from that role. Authorization and accounting only apply to the roles specified in that configuration.
When you modify a command for a role, you specify the role, the mode, and whether you want to restrict access using the deleterole
keyword or grant access using the addrole keyword followed by the command you are controlling access. For information about how to
create new roles, see also Creating a New User Role.
The following output displays the modes available for the role command.
Dell (conf)#role ?
configure Global configuration mode
exec Exec Mode
interface Interface configuration mode
line Line Configuration mode
route-map Route map configuration mode
router Router configuration mode
Examples: Deny Network Administrator from Using the show users Command.
The following example denies the netadmin role from using the show users command and then verifies that netadmin cannot
access the show users command in exec mode. Note that the netadmin role is not listed in the Role access:
secadmin,sysadmin, which means the netadmin cannot access the show users command.
Dell(conf)#role exec deleterole netadmin show users
Dell#show role mode exec show users
Role access: secadmin,sysadmin
