Admin, Operator and User Privileges
Recently added to the levels of security offered on the Switch, the Operator level privilege will allow users to configure and view
configurations on the Switch, except for those involving security features, which are still left to the Admin privilege. Operator
users can be authenticated through either the local authentication method of the Switch, or through the Access Authentication
Control feature, discussed later in this document. Once the user has logged in to the Switch in the Operator level, certain security
screens and windows will not be made available to view, or to configure. Only Admin level users have access to these features.
There are three levels of user privileges, Admin, Operator and User. Some menu selections available to users with Admin
privileges may not be available to those with User or Operator privileges.
The following table summarizes the Admin, Operator and User privileges:
Management Admin Operator User
