--===============4985941281442906395== Content-Language: en-US Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Under IOS-XE if we do: username <username> privilege 1 secret <password> the user has no ability to do any show commands. Elevating to priv=5 doesn't help. Only priv=15 helps - but then the user has RW access. So how does one set up a user in IOS-XE so they can do any and all "show" commands? Same question for IOS-XR. Tried: taskgroup read-only task read ! usergroup read-only-group taskgroup read-only ! username <username> group read-only-group secret <password> but "task read" requires many additional parameters such as “task read ospf”, “task read acl”, “task read bgp”, “task read ipv4” , etc. Can anyone provide the exact IOS-XE and IOS-XR commands to create a RO user?
