Definingthe User Privilege Level
Privilege level authorization in the SCE platform is accomplished by the use of an "
enable
" command
authentication request. When a user requests an authorization for a specified privilege level, by using the
"
enable
" command, the SCE platform sends an authentication request to the server
specifying the requested privilege level. The SCE platform grants the requested privilege level only after
the server authenticates the "
enable
" command password and verifies that the user has
sufficient privileges the enter the requested privilege level.
