Admin, Operator and User Privileges
Recently added to the levels of security offered on the Switch, the Operator level privilege will allow users to configure
and view configurations on the Switch, except for those involving security features, which are still left to the Admin
privilege. Operator users can be authenticated through either the local authentication method of the Switch, or through
the Access Authentication Control feature, discussed later in this document. Once the user has logged in to the Switch
in the Operator level, certain security screens and windows will not be made available to view, or to configure. Only
Admin level users have access to these features.
There are three levels of user privileges, Admin, Operator and User. Some menu selections available to users with
Admin privileges may not be available to those with User or Operator privileges.
The following table summarizes the Admin, Operator and User privileges:
Management Admin Operator User

Update Firmware and Configuration Files Yes No No
