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.
The following output displays the modes available for the role command.
DellEMC(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.
DellEMC(conf)#role exec deleterole netadmin show users
DellEMC#show role mode exec show users
Role access: secadmin,sysadmin
