Administering users

You can determine who can have access to the system, and what these users are able to do with the system (by assigning permissions to them).

Changing permissions

Users can have different levels of permissions for Web Administration, as described in the following table:


Permission	Description
Root	Any task on the system can be performed by the user
Administration	The user has full control of the voice system
Operations	The user has access to configuration management, reports administration, and system monitor capabilities, but does not have control of the voice system

Note:
Different Web Administration menu options are displayed for each permission level.

Only a user with root level permission can set a user's permission level. From the command-line interface, the root user does the following:

To determine the current permission level of a user whose user name is username, type display_permissions username and press Enter. The permission level is displayed on the screen.
To change the user's permission level:

To administration, type assign_permissions username Administration and press Enter.
To operations, type assign_permissions username Operations and press Enter.

To remove a user's access to the voice system, type unassign_permissions username and press Enter.

Adding users and changing passwords

To add users or manage passwords, use the relevant Solaris UNIX administration commands. See the Sun Solaris 8 System Administration Guide, Volume 1 for more information.
