User Roles Required to Work with MPLS Networks
This topic identifies the roles that are required to work with MPLS networks. Prime Network determines
whether you are authorized to perform a task as follows:
• For GUI-based tasks (tasks that do not affect elements), authorization is based on the default
permission that is assigned to your user account.
• For element-based tasks (tasks that do affect elements), authorization is based on the default
permission that is assigned to your account. That is, whether the element is in one of your assigned
scopes and whether you meet the minimum security level for that scope.
