I needed to create read-only users for people be able monitor/view end user VPN connections. <br />
<br />
I followed your suggestion of: When adding aaaa make sure you retain &quot;local&quot; as a viable, and was able create the user with Read-only access.<br />
<br />
Moving forward, If I wanted to create a read-only user, I would only need to create a &quot;local&quot; user with Privilege level 1?<br />
<br />
Thank you for your assistance.

I followed your suggestion of: When adding aaaa make sure you retain "local" as a viable, and was able create the user with Read-only access.

Moving forward, If I wanted to create a read-only user, I would only need to create a "local" user with Privilege level 1?

Thank you for your assistance.

<div>
you have to see whether a user with level 1 will have rights to what you want them to have.<br />
i think 1 might not be the right level..<br />
level 3 or 4 might be closer.create the user, login and see if you can perform the commands?<br />

Need to create a read-only accounts for users to access the ASA with ASDM.<br />
<br />
In order to do this, I need to enable AAA authentication. &nbsp;Currently I have other local accounts the ASA. Will enabling AAA authentication affect those accounts?<br />

Thank you.

Read-only access Cisco ASA Firewall

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).
