There are 3 levels of security offered on the Switch, the Operator level privilege will allow users
to configure and view configurations on the Switch, except for those involving security features,
which are still left to the Admin level privilege. Operator level users can be authenticated through
either the local authentication method of the Switch, or through the Access Authentication Control
feature, discussed later in this document. Once the user has logged in to the Switch in the
Operator level, certain security screens and windows will not be made available to view, or to
configure. Only Admin level users have access to these features.
