zManage level (level 3): Commands at this level are associated with the basic operation modules and support modules of the system. These commands provide support for services. Commands concerning file system, FTP/TFTP/XModem downloading, user management, and level setting are at this level.

Users logged into the device fall into four user levels, which correspond to the four command levels respectively. Users at a specific level can only use the commands at the same level or lower levels.

By default, the Console user (a user who logs into the device through the Console port) is a level-3 user, and Telnet users are level-0 users.

Switching User Levels

After logging into the device, users can change their current user levels through a command. Note that:

If a switching password is set for a specific user level by the super password command, all users must enter the password correctly when they switch from lower user levels to this level (if a wrong password is entered, they will remain at their original levels).

If no switching password is set for a specific user level, the Console user can directly switch to the level, while the Telnet users at lower levels will fail to switch to the level (they will remain at their original levels) and the information like the following will be displayed: % Password is not set.
