Changing A User's Group Assignment - Nortel Secure Network Access Switch 4050 User Manual

Changing a user's group assignment

Only users who are members of the admin group can remove other users from a
group. All users can add an existing user to a group, but only to a group in which
the "granting" user is already a member. The admin user, who by default is a
member of all three groups (admin, oper, and certadmin) can therefore add users
to any of these groups.
1
Log on to the Nortel SNAS 4050 cluster.
In this example the cert_admin user, who is a member of the certadmin group,
will add the admin user to the certadmin group. The example assumes that the
admin user previously removed himself or herself from the certadmin group,
in order to fully separate the Administrator user role from the Certificate
Administrator user role.
