Nortel Networks 4050 manual Access the User Menu, Main# /cfg/sys/user

Chapter 8 Managing system users and groups 361

In this configuration example, a certificate administrator user is added to the system, and then assigned to the certadmin group. The certificate administrator specializes in managing certificates and private keys, without the possibility to change system parameters or configure virtual SSL servers. A user who is a member of the certadmin group can therefore access the Certificate menu (/cfg/cert), but not the SSL Server 1001 menu (/cfg/domain #/server/ssl). On the System menu (/cfg/sys), the certadmin user has access only to the User submenu (/cfg/sys/user).

You can only assign a user to a group in which you yourself are a member. When this criterion is met, users can be assigned to one or more of the following three groups:
