11.9.2 Usage
Attribute type: Write-Only Action
Only users “useradmin” and “omcuname” are allowed to administer users on the
system.
Any other user will be prompted for the “useradmin” password when launching
ACT USERDEMOTE.
Format:
ACT USERDEMOTE <user name>
where <user name> is one of the users in the system. <user name> is case
sensitive, meaning that the system differs between uppercase and lowercase
characters.
Users currently logged in to the system cannot be demoted.
Note! Users omcuname and useradmin cannot be promoted within the system.
Example 1 , user is not useradmin:
AVITEC AB> ACT USERDEMOTE Ford
Password: *********
User Ford demoted to read-only access.

USERADMIN> ACT USERDEMOTE FordPerfect
Error: User does not exist.
USERADMIN> ACT USERDEMOTE Ford_Perfect
User Ford_Perfect demoted to read-only access.

Element Manager informing about this new user access level(except for when
omcuname demotes the user).
