username
This command creates or modifies a user to assign a privilege level and a password.
Syntax username <name> privilege <0-15> [password [8] <password>]
username <name> password [8] <password>
no username <name>
Note The default username privilege level of 1 is not shown in running-config
output. Any username privilege level that has been modified from the default is
shown.
Parameter Description
<name> The login name for the user. Do not use punctuation marks such as
single quotes (‘ ‘), double quotes (“ “), or colons ( : ) with the user login
name.
privilege The user’s privilege level. Use the privilege levels to set the access rights
for each user.
<0-15> A privilege level: either 0 (no access), 1-14 (limited
access) or 15 (full access). A user with privilege level 1-
14 can only access higher privilege levels if an
enable
password has been configured for the level the user
tries to access and the user enters that password.
A user at privilege level 1 can access the majority of
show commands. A user at privilege level 7 can access
the majority of show commands including platform
show commands. Privilege Level 15 (to access the
Privileged Exec command mode) is required to access
configuration commands as well as show commands
in Privileged Exec.
password A password that the user must enter when logging in.
8 Specifies that you are entering a password as a string
that has already been encrypted, instead of entering a
plain-text password. The running-config displays the
new password as an encrypted string even if password
encryption is turned off.
Note that the user enters the plain-text version of the
password when logging in.
<password> The user’s password. The password can be up to 23
characters in length and include characters from up to
four categories. The password categories are:
■
uppercase letters: A to Z
■ lowercase letters: a to z
■
digits: 0 to 9
■
special symbols: all printable ASCII characters not
included in the previous three categories. The
question mark ? cannot be used as it is reserved for
help functionality.
