Use the User Account Settings page to change an existing user’s role. (If you are creating a new user, follow the instructions in Creating a user account using the appliance Web UI.)
Important
If you change a role while the user is logged in, the user will be forcibly logged out. When the user logs in again, the capabilities associated with the new role are available to the user.
Note
The VX Series appliance has a CLI, but it does not have a Web UI. The recommended method for this configuration on a VX Series appliance is through the managing Central Management System appliance Web UI.
