Configuring Privileges

Viewing Privileges

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Configure > Privileges.

The system displays the Configure Privileges page.

Step 2

To see a different number of privileges on each page, on the top right, choose another number from the drop-down box and click Go. You can choose to see 10, 25, 50, 100, or all privileges.

Step 3

To move to another page, use the left and right arrow buttons on the bottom right, or enter another page number and press Enter.

Step 4

To sort the privileges, click any header.

Step 5

To delete a privilege, do the following:

  1. Select the privilege to delete.

  2. Click Delete.

    Tip 

    You cannot delete the pfsread, pfsreadwrite, or the superuser privileges. However, privileges that are linked to a group can be deleted without prior warning and this will result in the group not having any privileges.

Overview of Privileges

Cisco Unified SIP Proxy provides three predefined privileges that you can assign to groups. You can also create your own privileges and modify the predefined privileges.

When you assign a privilege to a group, any member of the group is granted the privilege rights. An administrator group is created automatically by the software initialization process from the imported subscribers designated as administrators.

When you create or modify privileges, you add or delete the operations allowed by that privilege. Operations define the CLI commands and GUI functions that are allowed. Most operations include only one CLI command and GUI function. In addition to adding operations to a privilege, you can also configure a privilege to have another privilege nested inside of it. A privilege configured with a nested privilege includes all operations configured for the nested privilege.

List of Operations describes all available operations that you can add to privileges.


Note

You cannot modify the superuser privilege. The superuser privilege includes all the operations.

To configure privileges, see Creating a Privilege.
