Avaya’s Linux-based products adopt the privilege escalation concept that requires lower-privileged accounts to log in at their normal level before they can escalate their privileges to perform more restrictive tasks, such as software replacement. Each privilege escalation requires a password or Access Security Gateway (ASG) response and creates a log entry for monitoring.
Tip You cannot perform a remote login with root. Only switch users (su) with privilege escalation can achieve a root privilege.
