Privilege issue on "show running-config" on Cisco 3925

[vkhorasani]

hi guys

I've recently encounter a problem in defining privilege level on Cisco 3925 router.

I have defined a root user before with full permission(privilege level 15) but now I wanna define a new user with more restricted permission, but I'wanna let the new user to check the running-config.

here is my configuration:

R3925(config)#username admin privilege 10 secret 4 04CP9hzO5lEnKMbmI1Hi/2DbIkLZMrIH/BfUOrdBL62

R3925(config)#privilege exec level 10 show running-config

R3925(config)#privilege exec all level 10 show running-config

But everytime I login with "admin" user I can not check running-config, the CLI doesn't turn back any error but I can not see anything.

R3925#show running-config
R3925#

If nothing helps like it was in my case, try to add this line in the config mode:

file privilege <priv level>

This's helped in my case.

Glad I found this thread.   The file privilege command is what I needed as well, even in the latest IOS-XE.
