Default OS10 assigns the netoperator role to a user authenticated by a RADIUS or TACACS+ server with a
missing or unknown role or privilege level.
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
When a RADIUS or TACACS+ server authenticates a user and does not return a role or privilege level, or
returns an unknown role or privilege level, OS10 assigns the netoperator role to the user by default.
Use this command to reconfigure the default netoperator permissions.
To assign OS10 user role permissions to an unknown user role, enter the RADIUS or TACACS+ name
with the inherit existing-role-name value. The no version of the command resets the role to
netoperator.
Supported on the MX9116n and MX5108n switches in Full Switch mode starting in release 10.4.0E(R3S).
Also supported in SmartFabric mode starting in release 10.5.0.1.
