There are three levels of user privileges,

Operator
and
User
. Some menu selections
available to users with Admin privileges may not be available to those with User or Operator level
privileges.
There are three levels of security offered on the Switch, the Operator level privilege will allow
users to configure and view configurations on the Switch, except for those involving security
features, which are still left to the Admin level privilege. Operator level users can be authenticated
through either the local authentication method of the Switch, or through the Access Authentication
Control feature, discussed later in this document. Once the user has logged in to the Switch in the
Operator level, certain security screens and windows will not be made available to view, or to
configure. Only Admin level users have access to these features.
