Examples of Custom Privilege Level Commands
To view the configuration, use the show running-config command in EXEC Privilege mode.
The following example shows a configuration to allow a user john to view only EXEC mode commands
and all snmp-server commands. Because the snmp-server commands are enable level commands
and, by default, found in CONFIGURATION mode, also assign the launch command for CONFIGURATION
mode, configure, to the same privilege level as the snmp-server commands.
Line 1: The user john is assigned privilege level 8 and assigned a password.
Line 2: All other users are assigned a password to access privilege level 8.
Line 3: The configure command is assigned to privilege level 8 because it needs to reach
CONFIGURATION mode where the snmp-server commands are located.
Line 4: The snmp-server commands, in CONFIGURATION mode, are assigned to privilege level 8.
Dell(conf)#username john privilege 8 password john
Dell(conf)#enable password level 8 notjohn
Dell(conf)#privilege exec level 8 configure
Dell(conf)#privilege config level 8 snmp-server
Dell(conf)#end

The following example shows the Telnet session for user john. The show privilege command output
confirms that john is in privilege level 8. In EXEC Privilege mode, john can access only the commands
listed. In CONFIGURATION mode, john can access only the snmp-server commands.
