Configure Custom Privilege Levels
In addition to assigning privilege levels to the user, you can configure the privilege levels of commands so
that they are visible in different privilege levels. Within FTOS, commands have certain privilege levels.
With the privilege command, you can change the default level or you can reset their privilege level back to
the default.
• Assign the launch keyword (for example,
configure) for the keyword’s command mode.
To assign commands and passwords to a custom privilege level, you must be in privilege level 15 and use
these commands in the following sequence in CONFIGURATION mode:
Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
1
username name [access-class
access-list-name] [privilege level]
[nopassword |
password
[encryption-type] password]
CONFIGURATION Assign a user name and password. Configure the
optional and required parameters:
• name: Enter a text string (up to 63
characters).
• access-class access-list-name: Enter the
name of a configured IP ACL.
• privilege level range: 0 to 15.
• nopassword: Do not require the user to enter
a password.
• encryption-type: Enter 0 for plain text or 7 for
