Switching User Identity
One of the following scenarios may make it necessary to change your user identity during a CLI
session:
• you created a new user account and you want to verify the access privileges
• you have multiple administrative user-accounts and you want to switch to another administrative
area
To change your user identity:
1. Enter the user-execute or privileged-execute mode.
2. Enter the
login
command with the name of a Topspin system user.
3. Enter the user password.
After you enter the password, you are logged in as the specified user in the user-execute mode.
Changing Privilege Access-Levels
1. Log in as the unrestricted user.
Only a user with unrestricted permissions may create and modify user accounts.
2. Enter the privileged-user mode.
3. Enter the global-configuration mode.
4. Enter the
username
command with the name of the user, the
privilege
keyword, and the
privileges to assign this user. For example:
Topspin-360# configure
Topspin-360(config)#
Topspin-360(config)# username ib-admin community-string ib-commStr
Topspin-90# login admin
Password: xxxxx
Topspin-90>
Topspin-360# Login: super
Password: xxxx
Topspin-360>
Topspin-360> enable
Topspin-360#
Topspin-360# configure
Topspin-360(config)#
Topspin-360(config)# username ib-admin privilege ib-rw ip-ethernet-ro
fc-rw
