cisco works lms 3.1 user access to device

AshmarinD_2 · ‎04-20-2010

Hi!

I need to create a user account having a read access to Cisco devices (such as Catalyst, routers, etc) but this user must also have an access to perform administrative tasks for Cisco Works (such as user add, device add and so on)

How can I do this?

Hi there,

LMS Common Services by default only has 5 useful roles:

Help Desk

Approver

Network Operator

Network Administrator

System Administrator

What you are asking can only be done in conjunction with some sort of Radius or ACS server . The security levels mentioned above is for application control to limit access to prevent unauthorized usage of CiscoWorks applications. For device and and application control, you will need an ACS server for that.

More information on pluggable authentication can be found here:
