User Administration
Required Privileges for User Administration
Only root and admin users can administer other users. The root user has
unlimited administration privileges. The admin user can view and change
all attributes except those that belong to the root user.
There are several ways to manage users. A user can be added, edited, or
removed. Multiple users can be managed in Groups or Access lists. The
difference between Groups and Access lists are that Groups define
privilege levels to access or change configuration of the Passport unit itself
(for Passport unit administration) while Access lists define rules for access
to ports and port capabilities.
Access Lists manage rights of multiple users at the same time. Multiple
users with the same rights are associated with an access list. This allows
the administrator to simplify the overall administrative process.
