• System Administrator (sysadmin). This role has full access to all the commands in the system, exclusive access to commands that
manipulate the le system formatting, and access to the system shell. This role can also create user IDs and user roles.
The following summarizes the modes that the predened user roles can access.

User Roles
This section describes how to create a new user role and congure command permissions and contains the following topics.
• Creating a New User Role
• Modifying Command Permissions for Roles
• Adding and Deleting Users from a Role
Creating a New User Role
Instead of using the system dened user roles, you can create a new user role that best matches your organization. When you create a new
user role, you can rst inherit permissions from one of the system dened roles. Otherwise you would have to create a user role’s command
permissions from scratch. You then restrict commands or add commands to that role. For more information about this topic, see Modifying
Command Permissions for Roles.
NOTE
: You can change user role permissions on system pre-dened user roles or user-dened user roles.
Important Points to Remember
Consider the following when creating a user role:
• Only the system administrator and user-dened roles inherited from the system administrator can create roles and user names. Only the
system administrator, security administrator, and roles inherited from these can use the "role" command to modify command
permissions. The security administrator and roles inherited by security administrator can only modify permissions for commands they
already have access to.
• Make sure you select the correct role you want to inherit.
• If you inherit a user role, you cannot modify or delete the inheritance. If you want to change or remove the inheritance, delete the user
role and create it again. If the user role is in use, you cannot delete the user role.
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, congure permissions for the new user role. See Modifying Command Permissions for Roles.
