You can create user accounts that have access to subset of administration functionality intended for the job or role associated with the user.

An administrator account consists of a login that belongs to either Linux group susers, or users and no profile group, or exactly one profile group for permission to access the Communication Manager SAT and System Management Interface. There are other accounts that need to be in different groups, such as remote access accounts that need to be in the Linux group remote. User accounts can be created and stored locally on Communication Manager, or on an external central AAA server.

When Communication Manager software is first installed, only local host accounts are configured. The Linux PAM files on Communication Manager must be edited to incorporate support for any other type of account.

See the Communication Manager Administrator Logins White Paper on http://www.avaya.com/support for information on editing PAM files and AAA Server configuration.
