User Management
Managing users involves adding, modifying, and deleting users who administer Cisco BAC. Depending
on your user type, you can use this menu to add, modify, and delete users. This menu displays all users
configured to use Cisco BAC and identifies their user types.
There are three types of Cisco BAC users: an Administrator, a Read/Write user, and a Read-Only user.
Each has different levels of access, with unique permissions to ensure access control and the integrity of
provisioning data.
The assigned user type appears near the top right corner of every screen on the administrator user
interface.
Administrator
Cisco BAC recognizes only one administrator and allows this user to view, add, modify, delete device
data, and create other users. As an Administrator, you can also change other users’ permissions from
Read/Write to Read Only, and vice-versa. In addition, you have the ability to change the passwords of
any other user type.
You cannot delete the “Administrator” user.
