Enable Method Lists
The Enable Method List Settings window is used to set up Method Lists to promote users with user
level privileges to Administrator (Admin) level privileges using authentication methods on the Switch.
Once a user acquires normal user level privileges on the Switch, he or she must be authenticated by a
method on the Switch to gain administrator privileges on the Switch, which is defined by the
Administrator. A maximum of eight Enable Method Lists can be implemented on the Switch, one of
which is a default Enable Method List. This default Enable Method List cannot be deleted but can be
configured.
