22 roleConfig roleConfig Manages user-defined roles. SYNOPSIS roleconfig --add role_name [-desc description] [-class rbac_class_list] [-perm permission] roleconfig --change role_name [-class rbac_class_list -perm permission [-desc description roleconfig --delete role_name [-force] roleconfig --copy new_role -role source_role roleconfig --show role_name | -all [-default] roleconfig --help DESCRIPTION NOTES OPERANDS Use this command to create or modify user-defined roles, to define permissions for these roles based on role-based access control (RBAC) permissions and meta-object format (MOF) classes, and to display the configured roles. Two types of access control restriction exist in Fabric OS: • Restriction by MOF class: A MOF class groups similar Fabric OS commands into feature sets that share the same access permissions. By assigning one or more MOF classes to a role, the account with the specified role can access all the commands included in these classes. For example, the predefined role ZoneAdmin can access the commands under the MOF class Zoning, but not those under the UserManagement class. With the roleConfig command you could define a special admin role called myzonesec and assign access to this role for both the zoning and the userManagement class. • Restriction by RBAC access level: You can further restrict access by setting RBAC one of the following access levels for the role. The RBAC permissions are set per class. - O = observe - OM = observe-modify - N = none/not available Use the --show option to display information about user-defined roles and default roles. Use the classConfig command to display information about MOF classes and associated commands. Note that you cannot modify the predefined Fabric OS roles. The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. This command has the following operands: --add Creates a role with the specified name and optional attributes. --change Modifies an existing user-defined role. role_name Specifies the name for the role to be created or modified. The name must be unique; it is case-insensitive and can contain only alpha characters. The role name must be at least 4 characters long and cannot exceed 16 characters. The maximum number of user-defined roles allowed on a chassis is 256. This operand is required. 858 Fabric OS Command Reference 53-1001764-01
