User Roles
This section describes how to create a new user role and configure command permissions and contains
the following topics.
• Creating a New User Role
• Modifying Command Permissions for Roles
• Adding and Deleting Users from a Role
Creating a New User Role
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 can first inherit permissions from one of the system
defined roles. Otherwise you would have to create a user role’s command permissions from scratch. You
then restrict commands or add commands to that role. For more 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 user names. 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.
