To avoid misoperations, the administrators are recommended to log in to the device by using a lower 

privilege level and view device operating parameters, and when they have to configure or maintain the 

device, they can switch to a higher level temporarily; when the administrators need to leave for a while 

or ask someone else to manage the device temporarily, they can switch to a lower privilege level before 

they leave to restrict the operation by others. 

Follow the step below to switch the user privilege level:

level, which is decided by user 
interface or authentication user 
level.
