The following table lists the different types of access roles and the functions they secure.

Configure SBC Edge Authentication for Non-mapped RADIUS User Classes

If a RADIUS user belongs to a Class that is not mapped to an SBC Edge access level, then a default access is used from the Missing User Class Access Level tab.

Operator Role

Authenticated SBC Edge users with Operator access level have the ability to make non-service affecting changes to the SBC Edge. Below are some examples of service affecting functions:

  1. Installing ASM updates as it will reboot the ASM.
  2. Changing the active partition as it will reboot the SBC.
  3. Installing a new license as it could impact active calls.
