A Brief Overview Of Role-Based Access For vManage

Cisco's vManage system allows for role-based access. This is a great way to segment users based on the restrictions and permissions individual users should have access to in the vManage environment. While some network admins may need full administrative access, there may be some use cases where other IT professionals should only be able to make rudimentary changes or only view configurations. Role-based access is a mechanism to achieve these scenarios.

vManage comes equipped with three roles by default:

• Basic
• Operator
• Netadmin

Network admins can adjust permissions for the basic and operator roles for the following:

• Interface
• Policy
• Routing
• Security
• General, system-wide privilege

Both the basic and operator roles are configurable while the netadmin role is not. The netadmin role is the administrative profile role for vManage and does not have any restrictions. The default admin profile is automatically part of this role. Other than changing the password for the admin account, it cannot be changed.
