If the network device is configured to use a AAA service account, and the AAA broker is configured to assign authorization levels based on centralized user account group memberships on behalf of the network device, that will satisfy this objective. Because the responsibility for meeting this objective is transferred to the AAA broker, this requirement is not applicable for the local network device. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. Juniper switches use role-based access controls (RBAC) to assign privilege levels. Account definitions in Junos are either "local" or "template", discriminated by the presence of an authentication stanza. Local accounts have an authentication stanza and support both external and/or local authentication depending upon the authentication order. Template accounts do not have an authentication stanza and only support external authentication. Every account (local and template) must be assigned a login class by an authorized administrator. Verify each account is assigned a login class with appropriate permissions based upon organizational requirements. Login classes support optional allow- and deny- directives as shown in the examples. Organizational requirements may require different allow- and deny- directives, or no directives at all.

Verify the network device is configured to assign appropriate user roles or access levels to authenticated users. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. If the network device does not enforce the assigned privilege level for each administrator and authorizations for access to all commands relative to the privilege level, this is a finding.
