1 Introduction

This document describes how to configure roles for a local Operation and Maintenance (O&M) user account. Roles are used to control which parts of the node resources the local user is allowed to access.

The roles supported by the system are defined as Managed Objects (MOs) under the LocalAuthorizationMethod MO. The roles configured in the user account are used to fetch users access rights from the appropriate Role MOs or CustomRole MOs.

1.1 Prerequisites

This section describes the prerequisites, which must be fulfilled before using the procedure.

1.1.1 Conditions

The following conditions must apply:

The user has sufficient access rights to perform the task, for example, the user has System Security Administrator role.
An Ericsson Command-Line Interface (ECLI) session in Exec mode is in progress.
The username for the local user account is known. In this document, username is joedoe.
The role names to be assigned to the user are known. In this document, the role names SystemAdministrator and EricssonSupport are used as examples.

2 Procedure

To set user roles:

Navigate to the LocalAuthorizationMethod MO, for example:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SecM=1,UserManagement=1,LocalAuthorizationMethod=1

List the roles defined in the system:

(LocalAuthorizationMethod=1)>show

The following is an example output:

LocalAuthorizationMethod=1
    administrativeState=UNLOCKED
    CustomRole=Custom_UserAdministrator
    Role=EricssonSupport
    Role=SystemAdministrator
    Role=SystemSecurityAdministrator
    Role=LocalAuthenticationAdministrator

Navigate to the UserAccount MO, for example:
>dn ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SecM=1,UserManagement=1,LocalAuthenticationMethod=1,UserAccountM=1,UserAccount=joedoe
Enter Config mode:
(UserAccount=joedoe)>configure
Set the appropriate role names for the user, for example:
(config-UserAccount=joedoe)>roles=”SystemAdministrator”,”EricssonSupport”
Commit the settings:
(config-UserAccount=joedoe)>commit
Verify the settings, for example:
(UserAccount=joedoe)>show -v

The following is an example output:

UserAccount=joedoe
    accountPolicy="ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SecM=1,⇒
UserManagement=1,LocalAuthenticationMethod=1,AccountPolicy=1"
    accountState=LOCKED <read-only>
    accountUsageState=UNUSED <read-only>
    administrativeState=LOCKED <default>
    lastLoginTime="" <read-only>
    lockedTime="2015-11-13T11:20:24Z" <read-only>
    passwordChangedTime="" <read-only>
    passwordFailureTimes=[] <empty> <read-only>    
    passwordPolicy="ManagedElement=NODE06ST,SystemFunctions=1,SecM=1,⇒
UserManagement=1,LocalAuthenticationMethod=1,PasswordPolicy=1"
    passwordState=[] <empty> <read-only>
    roles
     ”SystemAdministrator”
     ”EricssonSupport”
    userAccountId="joedoe"
    userLabel=[] <empty>
    userName=”John M. Doe”
