System Users
------------
-VyOS supports two levels of users: admin and operator.
+The default vyos user account, as well as newly created user accounts, have all capabilities to configure the system.
+All accounts have sudo capabilities and therefore can operate as root on the system.
+Setting the level to admin is optional, all accounts on the system
+will have admin privileges.
-The operator level restricts a user to operational commands and prevents
-changes to system configuration. This is useful for gathering information
-about the state of the system (dhcp leases, vpn connections, routing tables,
-etc...) and for manipulating state of the system, such as resetting
-connections, clearing counters and bringing up and taking down connection
-oriented interfaces.
-
-The admin level has all of the capabilities of the operator level, plus the
-ability to change system configuration. The admin level also enables a user
-to use the sudo command, which essentially means the user has root access to
-the system.
