Users Guide

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
