Users Guide

● role role—Enter a user role:
○ sysadmin — Full access to all commands in the system, exclusive access to commands that
manipulate the file system, and access to the system shell. A system administrator can create user
IDs and user roles.
○ secadmin — Full access to configuration commands that set security policy and system access,
such as password strength, AAA authorization, and cryptographic keys. A security administrator
can display security information, such as cryptographic keys, login statistics, and log information.
○ netadmin — Full access to configuration commands that manage traffic flowing through the
switch, such as routes, interfaces, and ACLs. A network administrator cannot access configuration
commands for security features or view security information.
○ netoperator — Access to EXEC mode to view the current configuration with limited access. A
network operator cannot modify any configuration setting on a switch.
● priv-lvl privilege-level — Enter a privilege level, from 0 to 15. If you do not specify the
priv-lvl option, the system assigns privilege level 1 for the netoperator role and privilege level
15 for the sysadmin, secadmin, and netadmin roles.
Default
● User name and password entries are in clear text.
● There is no default user role.
● The default privilege levels are level 1 for netoperator, and level 15 for sysadmin, secadmin, and
netadmin.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
By default, the password must be at least nine alphanumeric characters. Only the following special
characters are supported:
! # % & ' ( ) ; < = > [ ] * + - . / : ^ _
Enter the password in clear text. It is converted to SHA-512 format in the running configuration. For
backward compatibility with OS10 releases 10.3.1E and earlier, passwords entered in MD-5, SHA-256, and
SHA-512 format are supported.
You cannot assign a privilege level higher than privilege level 1 to a user with the netoperator role and
higher than privilege level 2 for a sysadmin, secadmin, and netadmin roles.
To increase the required password strength, use the password-attributes command. The no
version of this command deletes the authentication for a user.
Example
OS10(config)# username user05 password newpwd404 role sysadmin priv-lvl
