User Accounts Overview

You can create accounts for local users with passwords. Accounts passwords are encrypted. You can assign privilege levels to local user accounts.

User accounts regulate access to the management functions in the CLI using the following methods:

• Telnet access
• Web management access
• SNMP access
• RESTCONF
• SSH access─SSH refers to SSHv2, which is supported on all RUCKUS ICX devices.

For each local user account, you specify a user name and password. You also can specify the management privilege level, which can be one of the following:

• 0 - Super User level (default) - Allows complete read-and-write access to the system. This is generally for system administrators and is the only privilege level that allows you to configure passwords.
• 4 - Port Configuration level - Allows read-and-write access for specific ports, but not for global parameters.
• 5 - Read Only level - Allows access to the Privileged EXEC mode and User EXEC mode with read access only.
