Role-Based Authorization Chapter 39 Configuring Users and Common Roles Send documentation comments to [email protected] About Roles Each role can contain multiple users and each user can be part of multiple roles. For example, if role1 users are only allowed access to configuration commands, and role2 users are only allowed access to debug commands, then if Joe belongs to both role1 and role2, he can access configuration as well as debug commands. Note If you belong to multiple roles, you can execute a union of all the commands permitted by these roles. Access to a command takes priority over being denied access to a command. For example, suppose you belong to a TechDocs group and you were denied access to configuration commands. However, you also belong to the engineering group and have access to configuration commands. In this case, you will have access to configuration commands. Tip Any role, when created, does not allow access to the required commands immediately. The administrator must configure appropriate rules for each role to allow access to the required commands. Configuring Roles and Profiles To create an additional role or to modify the profile for an existing role using Fabric Manager, follow these steps: Step 1 Expand Switches > Security and then select Users and Roles from the Physical Attributes pane.
