| Determine if the OS10 Switch prevents nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures. Access to privileged functions is restricted by OS10 to users with the appropriate role. Verify the OS10 Switch is configured to assign appropriate user roles to authenticated users. Valid roles are system admin, security admin, network admin, and network operator. Verify the correct role is assigned to each user: OS10# show running-configuration users username admin password **** role sysadmin priv-lvl 15 username op100 password **** role netoperator priv-lvl 1 OS10# If the OS10 Switch does not prevent nonprivileged users from executing privileged functions, this is a finding. |
