Usage Information
Instead of using the system defined user roles, you can create a new user role that best matches your
organization. When you create a new user role, you first inherit permissions from one of the system
defined roles. Otherwise you would have to create a user role from scratch. You then restrict commands
or add commands to that role. For information about this topic, See Modifying Command Permissions
for Roles.
NOTE: You can change user role permissions on system pre-defined user roles or user-defined
user roles.
Important Points to Remember
Consider the following when creating a user role:
• Only the system administrator and user-defined roles inherited from the system administrator can
create roles and usernames. Only the system administrator, security administrator, and roles inherited
from these can use the role command to 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.
