•Security Level—Choose a security level for the user: RETRIEVE, MAINTENANCE, PROVISIONING, or SUPERUSER. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual for information about the capabilities provided with each level.

Note Each security level has a different idle time. The idle time is the length of time that CTC can remain idle before it locks up and the password must be reentered. The defaults are: Retrieve user = unlimited, Maintenance user = 60 minutes, Provisioning user = 30 minutes, and Superuser

=15 minutes. To change the idle times, refer to the “NTP-D205 Modify Users and Change Security” procedure on page 12-25 .

Step 5 Under “Select applicable nodes,” deselect any nodes where you do not want to add the user (all network nodes are selected by default).

Step 6 Click OK.

Step 7 In the User Creation Results dialog box, verify that the users were successfully added to the nodes chosen in Step 5. If yes, click OK and continue with the next step. If users were not added, click OK and repeat Steps 2 through 6.

Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
