Users Guide

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.
DellEMC(conf)#do show userroles
EXEC Privilege mode
3. After you create a user role, configure permissions for the new user role.
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.
DellEMC(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.
DellEMC(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.
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.
