Network OS CLI RBAC permissions
Role-Based Action Control (RBAC) defines the capabilities that a user account has based on the
role the account has been assigned.
A role is an entity that defines the access privileges of the user accounts on the switch. A user is
associated with one role.
Default roles
Attributes of default roles cannot be modified; however, the default roles can be assigned to
non-default user accounts. The following roles are default roles:
• The admin role has the highest privileges. All CLIs are accessible to the user associated with
the admin role. By default, the admin role has read and write access.
• The user role has limited privileges that are mostly restricted to show commands in the
Privileged EXEC mode. User accounts associated with the user role cannot access
configuration CLIs that are in the global configuration mode. By default, the user role has
read-only access.
Accessing the Network OS CLI through Telnet
NOTE
While this example uses the admin role to log in to the switch, both roles can be used.
The procedure to access the Network OS CLI is the same through either the console interface or
through a Telnet session; both access methods bring you to the login prompt.
switch login: admin
Password:**********
switch#
NOTE
Multiple users can open Telnet sessions and issue commands using the privileged EXEC mode.
Network OS v4.1.0 supports up to 32 Telnet sessions with the admin login.
