Configuring Privileges for a User Managing Switch User Accounts
page 7-12 OmniSwitch 7700/7800/8800 Switch Management Guide April 2006
In addition to command families, the keywords all or none may be used to set privileges for all command
families or no command families respectively.
An example of setting up user privileges:
-> user thomas read-write domain-network ip-helper telnet
User thomas will have write access to all the configuration commands and show commands in the
network domain, as well as Telnet and IP helper (DHCP relay) commands. The user will not be able to
execute any other commands on the switch.
Use the keyword all to specify access to all commands. In the following example, the user is given read
access to all commands:
-> user lindy read-only all
Note. When modifying an existing user, the user password is not required. If you are configuring a new
user with privileges, the password is required.
The default user privileges may also be modified. See “Default User Settings” on page 7-7.
Note. If you set up a user’s privileges to include domain-physical or the pmm command family, the user
will be able to set up port mirroring, which may allow the user access to sensitive data.
