Privilege level
When you open the Avaya Gxxx Manager or access CLI, you must enter a username. The
username that you enter sets your privilege level. The commands that are available to you
during the session depend on your privilege level. If you use RADIUS authentication, the
RADIUS server sets your privilege level.
The Gateway provides the following three privilege levels:
Read-only: You can use the Read-only privilege level to view configuration parameters.
Read-write: You can use the Read-write privilege level to view and change all configuration
parameters except those related to security. For example, you cannot change a password with
Read-write privilege level.
Admin: You can use Admin privilege level to view and change all configuration parameters,
including parameters related to security. Use Admin privilege level only when you need to
change configuration that is related to security, such as adding new user accounts and setting
the device policy manager source.
The default username has the Admin privilege level. For security reasons, the network
administrator usually changes the password of the default username. For more information
about privilege levels, see Avaya G430 CLI Reference.
