17.3 Command Line Interface Users
Each SC board typically has several CLI users defined on it. These users may be
categorized into the following types (groups):
Root – root is a super-user that has unrestricted permissions on the SC board
and should be used for installation, restore from backup and user management
tasks only; there is only one root user available on the CLI interface; the root
user may not be deleted; however, its password may be modified.
CLI administrators – this group of users should be used for performing regular
Mediant 8000 maintenance and configuration tasks; the root user may add new
users to this group or remove existing ones.
CLI monitors – this group of users should be used for performing status and fault
monitoring tasks only; configuration tasks are not allowed for users belonging to
the CLI monitor group; the root user may add new users to this group or remove
existing ones.
EMS user – ems is a reserved username used by EMS to perform maintenance
tasks on Mediant 8000 (e.g. Online Software Upgrade); the ems user has
permissions identical to the CLI administrators group.
Note: In the following discussion, the term “regular CLI users” is used to refer
to any user belonging to the “CLI administrators” or “CLI monitors” group.
