CEE CLI RBAC permissions
Role-Based Action Control (RBAC) defines the capabilities that a user account has based on the
role the account has been assigned. Table 2 shows the permissions matrix for CEE. Permissions
are specifically defined as follows:
OM—When you enter the cmsh command, you are put directly into Privileged EXEC mode.
O—When you enter the cmsh command, you are limited to EXEC mode.
N—You are not allowed access to the CEE CLI.
