If you have command authorization enabled, you have the option to manually assign privilege levels to commands or you can have the ASDM assign commands to the following three groups: level 15 (Admin), level 5 (Read Only), and level 3 (Monitor Only). Depending on how you configured this, you will want to make sure that the user account you are trying to use for administration has the appropriate privilege level configured.</P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 18 Jul 2009 21:33:23 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257296#M858585 Todd Pula 2009-07-18T21:33:23Z Re: ASA5505 - Can't Access Configuration Tab on ASDM https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257297#M858588 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Any tips on the actualy syntax needing to configure my username with privilege level 15 so I can get out of monitor mode? </P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 18 Jul 2009 23:11:18 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257297#M858588 srose 2009-07-18T23:11:18Z Re: ASA5505 - Can't Access Configuration Tab on ASDM https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257298#M858592 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you are using the local user database on the ASA, you can issue the following for the user account in question.</P><P></P><P>username cisco password cisco privilege 15</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:44:57 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257298#M858592 Todd Pula 2009-07-20T12:44:57Z Re: ASA5505 - Can't Access Configuration Tab on ASDM https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257299#M858595 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you topula, this fixed my issue! </P><P></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 02:10:24 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257299#M858595 srose 2009-07-30T02:10:24Z Re: ASA5505 - Can't Access Configuration Tab on ASDM https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/asa5505-can-t-access-configuration-tab-on-asdm/m-p/1257300#M858599 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Glad to hear it.
