To do…  Use the command…  Remarks 
Using local 
authentication 
z  Use the local-user command 
to create a local user and enter 
local user view. 
z  Use the level keyword in the 
authorization-attribute 
command to configure the user 
level. 
Configure the 
user privilege 
level by using 
AAA 
authentication 
parameters 
Using remote 
authentication 
(RADIUS, 
HWTACACS, 
and LDAP 
authentications) 
Configure user level on the 
authentication server 
User either approach 
z  For local authentication, if you 
do not configure the user level, 
the user level is 0, that is, users 
of this level can use commands 
with level 0 only. 
z  For remote authentication, if 
you do not configure the user 
level, the user level depends on 
the default configuration of the 
authentication server. 
 
 
z  For more information about user interfaces, see Logging In to the AP in the Fundamentals 
Configuration Guide. For more information about the user-interface, authentication-mode and 
user privilege level commands, see Logging In to the AP in the Fundamentals Command 
Reference. 
z  For more information about the AAA authentication, see AAA in the Security Configuration Guide. 
For more information about the local-user and authorization-attribute commands, see AAA in 
the Security Command Reference. 
 
2)  Example of configuring user privilege level by using AAA authentication parameters 
# Authenticate the users telnetting to the AP through VTY 1, verify their usernames and passwords 
locally, and specify the user privilege level as 3. 
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] user-interface vty 1 
[Sysname-ui-vty1] authentication-mode scheme 
[Sysname-ui-vty1] quit 
[Sysname] local-user test 
[Sysname-luser-test] password cipher 123 
[Sysname-luser-test] service-type telnet 
After the above configuration, when users telnet to the AP through VTY 1, they need to input username 
test and password 123. After passing the authentication, users can only use the commands of level 0. If 
the users need to use commands of levels 0, 1, 2 and 3, the following configuration is required: 
[Sysname-luser-test] authorization-attribute level 3 
3)  Configure the user privilege level under a user interface 
If a user logs in using the none or password mode (namely, no username is needed), the user privilege 
level is the user interface level.
