Permission Levels

All users can read ALOM information, but authorization is required to perform
ALOM functions or change settings. There are four permission levels that increase a
user's authorization. You can specify zero through four permission levels.

If you do not assign a permission level to the specified user (that is, you assign zero
permission levels), then that user has read-only permission. This is the default level
for a new ALOM user account.
Note – The default user permission for the account that you use when you start
ALOM for the first time is read only. After you set a password for the default admin
account, the permissions change to cuar (full authorization).
To view a user's permission levels, use the usershow command. See
