Setting super password control parameters
CLI commands fall into four levels: visit, monitor, system, and manage, in ascending order. Accordingly, login users fall into four levels, each corresponding to a command level. A user of a certain level can only use the commands at that level or lower levels.
To switch from a lower user level to a higher one, a user needs to enter a password for authentication. This password is called a super password. For more information on super passwords, see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
