User Roles
The Cisco CLI permits multiple users to log in at the same time. You can create and remove users from
the local sensor. You can modify only one user account at a time. Each user is associated with a role that
controls what that user can and cannot modify. The CLI supports four user roles: administrator, operator,
viewer, and service. The privilege levels for each role are different; therefore, the menus and available
commands vary for each role.
Administrator
This user role has the highest level of privileges. Administrators have unrestricted view access and can
perform the following functions:
• Add users and assign passwords
• Enable and disable control of physical interfaces and virtual sensors
• Assign physical sensing interfaces to a virtual sensor
• Modify the list of hosts allowed to connect to the sensor as a configuring or viewing agent
• Modify sensor address configuration
• Tune signatures
• Assign configuration to a virtual sensor
• Manage routers
