User Permissions
The SLC has three default user groups: Administrators, Power Users, and Default Users.
Each has a predefined set of rights: users inherit rights from the user group to which they
belong. These rights are in addition to the current functions that a user can perform at the
CLI:
connect direct/listen
set locallog/password/history/cli
show datetime/deviceport/locallog/portstatus/portcounters/
history/cli/user
The table below shows the mapping of groups and user rights.

To assign user rights:
