Chapter7 Access Rights

Administration | Access Rights | Administrators

Administrators are special users who can access and change the configuration, administration, and

monitoring functions on the VPN Concentrator. Only administrators can use the VPN Concentrator

Manager.

Cisco provides five predefined administrators:

• 1 - admin = System administrator with access to, and rights to change, all areas. This is the only

administrator enabled by default. This is the only administrator who can log in to, and use, the VPN

Concentrator Manager as supplied by Cisco.

• 2 - config = Configuration administrator with all rights except SNMP access.

• 3 - isp = Internet service provider administrator with limited general configuration rights.

• 4 - mis = Management information systems administrator with the same rights as config.

• 5 - user = User administrator with rights only to view system statistics.

This section of the Manager lets you change administrator properties and rights. Any changes take effect

as soon as you click Apply.

Note The VPN Concentrator saves Administrator parameter settings from this screen and the Modify

Properties screen in nonvolatile memory, not in the active configuration (CONFIG) file. Thus, these

settings are retained even if the system loses power. These settings are also retained even if you

reboot the system with the factory configuration file.
