Technical Note.
System Operator System Operators are users that have configurable
permissions to files, the Administrative Interface,
and SMT panels. The Administrative User
(described above) configures permissions for
System Operators. The user record and its
permissions can be accessed from either the
Operators file or via a RADIUS Server. System
Operators stored in the Operators file can be
authenticated by basic password comparison as
well as a variety of hashed (encrypted) passwords.
Please refer to Table11-6 on page 12 for a
detailed list of supported password types.
