Configuring user privilege level
User privilege level can be configured by using AAA authentication parameters or under a user
interface.

setting, as well as parameter setting within a system (the
last case involves those non-protocol or non RFC
provisioned commands).
Use the command...
system-view
user-interface { first-num1

first-num2 [ last-num2 ] }

For local authentication, if
you do not configure the

0, that is, users of this level
can use commands with

you do not configure the
user level, the user level
depends on the default
