When the user logins to the device successfully through
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+ server or none
method, the “User” privilege level is assigned only. If
the user wants to get “Admin” privilege level, the user
must open the Enable Admin window to promote his
privilege level. But when the user logins to the device
successfully through RADIUS server or local method, 3
kinds of privilege level can be assigned to the user and
the user can not use the Enable Admin window to
promote to “Admin” privilege level. When the Enable
Method List is set to TACACS, XTACACS, or
RADIUS, the user must create a special account with

When this window appears, click the Enable Admin
button revealing a dialog box for the user to enter
authentication (password, username), as seen below. A
successful entry will promote the user to Administrator
level privileges on the Switch.
