Configuring Users (CLI)
User configuration is based on the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. According to the RBAC model,
permissions to perform certain operations are assigned to specific roles. Users are assigned to particular roles, and
through those role assignments acquire the permissions to perform particular system functions.
In the PTP 820G and PTP 820F GUI, these roles are called user profiles. Up to 50 user profiles can be configured.
Each profile contains a set of privilege levels per functionality group, and defines the management protocols that
can be used to access the system by users to whom the user profile is assigned

User Configuration Overview (CLI)
User configuration is based on the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model. According to the RBAC model,
permissions to perform certain operations are assigned to specific roles. Users are assigned to particular roles, and
through those role assignments acquire the permissions to perform particular system functions.
In the PTP 820 GUI, these roles are called user profiles. Up to 50 user profiles can be configured. Each profile
contains a set of privilege levels per functionality group, and defines the management protocols (access channels)
that can be used to access the system by users to whom the user profile is assigned.
The system parameters are divided into the following functional groups:
•
Security
•
Management
•
Radio
•
TDM
•
Ethernet
•
Synchronization
A user profile defines the permitted access level per functionality group. For each functionality group, the access
level is defined separately for read and write operations. The following access levels can be assigned:
•
None – No access to this functional group.
•
Normal – The user has access to parameters that require basic knowledge about the functional group.
•
Advanced – The user has access to parameters that require advanced knowledge about the functional group,
as well as parameters that have a significant impact on the system as a whole, such as restoring the
configuration to factory default settings.
