User Roles
The Cisco CLI permits multiple users to log in at the same time. You can create and remove users from
the local sensor. You can modify only one user account at a time. Each user is associated with a role that
controls what that user can and cannot modify. The CLI supports four user roles: administrator, operator,
viewer, and service. The privilege levels for each role are different; therefore, the menus and available
commands vary for each role.
