Administrator Guide

Version Description
9.5(0.0) Introduced on the Z9000, S6000, S4820T, S4810, MXL.
Usage
Information
Instead of using the system defined user roles, you can create a new user role that best matches your
organization. When you create a new user role, you first inherit permissions from one of the system
defined roles. Otherwise you would have to create a user role from scratch. You then restrict commands
or add commands to that role. For information about this topic, See Modifying Command Permissions for
Roles.
NOTE: You can change user role permissions on system pre-defined user roles or user-defined user
roles.
Important Points to Remember
Consider the following when creating a user role:
● Only the system administrator and user-defined roles inherited from the system administrator can
create roles and usernames. Only the system administrator, security administrator, and roles inherited
from these can use the role command to modify command permissions. The security administrator
and roles inherited by security administrator can only modify permissions for commands they already
have access to.
● Make sure you select the correct role you want to inherit.
NOTE: If you inherit a user role, you cannot modify or delete the inheritance. If you want to change
or remove the inheritance, delete the user role and create it again. If the user role is in use, you
cannot delete the user role.
AAA Accounting Commands
AAA Accounting enables tracking of services that users are accessing and the amount of network resources being consumed by
those services. When you enable AAA Accounting, the network server reports user activity to the TACACS+ security server in
the form of accounting records. Each accounting record is comprised of accounting AV pairs and is stored on the access control
server.
As with authentication and authorization, you must configure AAA Accounting by defining a named list of accounting methods,
and then applying that list to various interfaces.
aaa accounting
Enable AAA Accounting and create a record for monitoring the accounting function.
