operator user role. This role does not have access to the commands that are available to the system security administrator for cryptography operations, AAA, or the commands reserved solely for the system administrator. • Security Administrator (secadmin): This user role can control the security policy across the systems that are within a domain or network topology. The security administrator commands include FIPS mode enablement, password policies, inactivity timeouts, banner establishment, and cryptographic key operations for secure access paths. • System Administrator (sysadmin). This role has full access to all the commands in the system, exclusive access to commands that manipulate the file system formatting, and access to the system shell. This role can also create user IDs and user roles. The following summarizes the modes that the predefined user roles can access.

When you create a new user role, you can first inherit permissions from one of the system defined roles. Otherwise you would have to create a user role's command permissions from scratch. You then restrict commands or add commands to that role. For more information about this topic, see Modifying Command Permissions for Roles. NOTE: You can change user role permissions on system pre-defined user roles or user-defined user roles. Important Points to Remember Consider the following when creating a user role: • Only the system administrator and user-defined roles inherited from the system administrator can create roles and user names. Only the system administrator, security administrator, and roles inherited from these can use the "role" command to modify command permissions. The security administrator and roles inherited by security administrator can only modify permissions for commands they already have access to. • Make sure you select the correct role you want to inherit.
