The SBx3112 supports three levels of security: User, Manager, and Security Officer. Each level provides a spe-

Telesis_Product_Security_Levels
Each security level controls the commands that can be entered as follows:
User - Users have the lowest level of access, which is equivalent to read-only privileges. They can change
•
their password and use any of the SHOW commands to display information. When logged in, the User
receives the command-line prompt:
username USR >
Manager - Managers have a higher priority than Users and can perform all actions that a User can perform.
•
In addition to User privileges, Managers can control various aspects of a User's account (such as showing all
active sessions or showing statistics) and can configure most areas of the SBx3112. When logged in, the
Manager receives the command-line prompt:
username MGR >
Security Officer - Security Officers have the highest priority and can access the full set of commands. In
•
addtion to Manager privileges, Security Officers can add, remove, or modify other user accounts, as well as
create, modify, and destroy management features. When logged in, the Security Officer receives the com-
mand-line prompt:
