Enable Admin

The Enable Admin window is for users who have
logged on to the Switch on the normal user level, and
wish to be promoted to the administrator level. After
logging on to the Switch, users will have only user level
privileges. To gain access to administrator level
privileges, the user will open this window and will have
to enter an authentication
authentication methods for this function include
TACACS/XTACACS/TACACS+/RADIUS,
defined server groups, local enable (local account on
the Switch), or no authentication (none). Because
XTACACS and TACACS do not support the enable
function, the user must create a special account on the
server host, which has the username "enable", and a
password configured by the administrator that will
support the "enable" function. This function becomes
inoperable when the authentication policy is disabled.
When this window appears, click the Enable Admin
button revealing a dialog box for the user to enter
authentication (password, username). A successful
entry will promote the user to Administrator level
privileges on the Switch.
To view this window, click Security > Access
Authentication Control > Enable Admin, as shown.
