User Accounts and Modes in ACS
When you power up the CSACS-1121 appliance for the first time, you are prompted to run the
setup
utility to configure the appliance. During this setup process, an administrator user account, also known
as an Admin account, is created. After you enter the initial configuration information, the appliance
automatically reboots and prompts you to enter the username and the password that you specified for the
Admin account. It is this Admin account that you must use to log in to the ACS CLI for the first time.
While an Admin can create and manage Operator (user) accounts (which have limited privileges and
access to the ACS server), an Admin account provides you the functionality you require to use the ACS
CLI.
To create more users (with admin and operator privileges) with SSH access to the ACS CLI, you must
run the
username
command in the Configuration mode (see
Types of Command Modes in ACS,
page 1-5
).
Table 1-1
lists the command privileges for each type of user account: Admin and Operator (user).
