Login permissions
You can manage login permissions to enable different privilege levels for each user and to
operate the security mechanism.
User account management
You must provide a username and password when you perform any of the following actions:
• When you access the CLI. For more information, see Methods to access the CLI on
page 28.
• When you access the CLI using a modem with dialup PPP. For more information, see
CLI access using modems on page 31.
• When you open Avaya Gxxx Manager.
You can configure various password parameters to enhance your system security. Some
parameters control password length and content, and some control lockout and expiry
policies.
When you use Avaya Gxxx Manager or the CLI, your username determines your privilege level.
The commands that are available to you during the session depend on your privilege level.
If your network has a RADIUS server, you can use RADIUS authentication instead of a
username and password. A RADIUS server provides centralized authentication service for
many devices on a network.
