Note Only the root-system users, root-lr users, or users associated with the WRITE:AAA task ID can configure task groups. (The root-lr user has the highest level of privileges in an SDR. In previous releases, SDRs were called logical routers (LRs).)

Predefined User Groups

The Cisco IOS XR software includes a set of predefined user groups that meets the needs of most organizations. The predefined user groups are described in Table 4-2.
