3.4.1 Three Levels of Security
A three (3) level security system on the 9145E controls all user interface and SNMPv3 access.
Most Service Provider management networks provision certain access levels to technicians, network
administrators, and managers. Offering different access levels to critical applications allows network
administrators to keep closer watch on the entire network.
All 9145E features require a certain access level for access. The logged in user or SNMPv3 manager’s
access level is used to validate and control access to the 9145E features. When accessing a menu item or
an SNMP object the user’s access level is checked against the access level required for the feature. If the
user’s access level is sufficient, then the access is granted. If the user’s access level is not sufficient, an
error message is displayed in the status area or an SNMP error is returned.
The three access levels are supervisor, operator, and observer.
