Users can override the privilege level you set using the privilege level line configuration command by logging
in to the line and enabling a different privilege level. They can lower the privilege level by using the disable
command. If users know the password to a higher privilege level, they can use that password to enable the
higher privilege level. You might specify a high level or privilege level for your console line to restrict line
usage.
