Augmenting management privilege levels
Each management privilege level provides access to specific areas of the CLI by default:
• Super User level provides access to all commands and displays.
• Port Configuration level gives access to:
• The User EXEC and Privileged EXEC levels
• The port-specific parts of the CONFIG level
• All interface configuration levels
• Read Only level gives access to:
• The User EXEC and Privileged EXEC levels
You can grant additional access to a privilege level on an individual command basis. To grant the
additional access, you specify the privilege level you are enhancing, the CLI level that contains the
command, and the individual command.
This feature applies only to management privilege levels on the CLI. You cannot augment
management access levels for the Web Management Interface.
To enhance the Port Configuration privilege level so users also can enter IP commands at the
global CONFIG level.
