The end-user access control commands allow you to configure end-user accounts.
Setting up User IDs
Up to 10 user IDs can be configured. Use the following commands to define any
user name and set the user password at the resulting prompts:
RS G8000(config)# access user 1 name <1-8 characters>
RS G8000(config)# access user 1 password
Changing user1 password; validation required:
Enter current admin password: <current administrator password>
Enter new user1 password: <new user password>
Re-enter new user1 password: <new user password>
New user1 password accepted.
Defining a User's Access Level
The end user is by default assigned to the user access level (also known as class of
service, or COS). COS for all user accounts have global access to all resources
except for User COS, which has access to view only resources that the user owns.

To change the user's level, select one of the following options:
RS G8000(config)# access user 1 level {user|operator|administrator}
Validating a User's Configuration

Enabling or Disabling a User

login under the account. Once enabled, the switch requires any user to enter both
username and password.

The following command displays defined user accounts and whether or not each
user is currently logged into the switch.
