Usage Information
Instead of using the system dened user roles, you can create a new user role that best matches your
organization. When you create a new user role, you rst inherit permissions from one of the system dened
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-dened user roles or user-dened
user roles.
Important Points to Remember
Consider the following when creating a user role:
• Only the system administrator and user-dened 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.
