NAME

priv – control per-connection privilege settings

SYNOPSIS

priv

priv set [ -q ] [ priv-level ]

priv help

priv -level priv-level (DEPRECATED FORM)

DESCRIPTION

The priv command manages the privilege level associated with the current login session.

Possible privilege levels are

admin (includes normal administrative commands)

and

advanced (includes potentially dangerous commands that should be used under guidance from Network Appliance Global Services).

The advanced privilege level includes everything in the admin level.

Subcommands
priv set [ priv-level ]
Sets the per-connection privilege setting to the one specified. If no priv-level is given, admin is used.

priv help
Displays usage information and the list of possible privilege levels.

Options
-q
Enables "quiet" mode. Normally, when enabling advanced privileges, the priv command prints a warning message; this option suppresses the warning.

EXAMPLES

To access the "advanced" commands, use

  toaster> priv set advanced   Warning: These advanced commands are potentially dangerous; use            them only when directed to do so by Network Appliance            personnel. 

You can see that this worked by doing

  toaster*> priv   advanced 

You can turn this off again with

  toaster*> priv set admin 

or simply

  toaster*> priv set   toaster> priv   admin
