○ sysadmin—Full access to all commands in the system, exclusive access to commands that manipulate the file
system, and access to the system shell. A system administrator can create user IDs and user roles.
○ secadmin—Full access to configuration commands that set security policy and system access, such as password
strength, AAA authorization, and cryptographic keys. A security administrator can display security information, such
as cryptographic keys, login statistics, and log information.
○ netadmin—Full access to configuration commands that manage traffic flowing through the switch, such as routes,
interfaces, and access control lists (ACLs). A network administrator cannot access configuration commands for
security features or view security information.
○ netoperator—Access to EXEC mode to view the current configuration. A network operator cannot modify any
configuration setting on a switch.
● priv-lvl privilege-level—Enter a privilege level, from 0 to 15. If you do not specify the priv-lvl option, the
system assigns privilege level 1 for the netoperator user and privilege level 15 for the sysadmin, secadmin, and
netadmin users.
The following is an example of configuring privilege levels and assigning them to a user:
OS10(config)# privilege exec priv-lvl 12 "show version"
OS10(config)# privilege exec priv-lvl 12 "configure terminal"
OS10(config)# privilege configure priv-lvl 12 "interface ethernet"
OS10(config)# privilege interface priv-lvl 12 "ip address"
OS10(config)# username delluser password $6$Yij02Phe2n6whp7b$ladskj0HowijIlkajg981 role
secadmin priv-lvl 12
The following example shows the privilege level of the current user:
OS10# show privilege
Current privilege level is 15.
The following example displays the privilege levels of all users who are logged into OS10:
OS10# show users
