What is the default privilege level of user accounts created on Cisco routers?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Cisco IOS user EXEC accounts are assigned privilege level 1 by default (the normal user mode).

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Cisco IOS privilege levels range from 0 to 15. Level 1 is the default user EXEC mode (limited command set). Level 15 is the privileged EXEC (enable) mode with full access. Levels 2–14 are configurable. Level 0 is a very restricted set of commands. Only levels 0–15 exist in IOS; there is no level 16.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- When you create a local user with the username command (for example: username alice secret MyPass), IOS assigns that user to the default privilege level unless you explicitly specify another level.
- The default privilege level for locally defined users is 1, which places the user in user EXEC mode after login.
- To give full administrative rights you must either assign privilege 15 in the username command (username admin privilege 15 secret Pass) or have the user execute enable and supply the enable password/secret.

3) Intermediate steps (where applicable)
- Example commands and outcomes:
  - username alice secret MyPass  -> alice logs in and is placed at privilege level 1 (user EXEC).
  - username admin privilege 15 secret AdminPass  -> admin logs in and has privilege 15 (privileged EXEC).
- No numeric calculation required; steps demonstrate default assignment.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- IOS documentation and CLI behavior show that without the "privilege" keyword, a created user gets level 1. That is why the default privilege level of user accounts is 1.

5) Why the other options are incorrect
- 15: This is the privileged EXEC level and is not the default for newly created users unless explicitly set.
- 16: Invalid—IOS only supports levels 0 through 15.
- 0: Reserved for minimal access and not used as the default for user accounts.

6) Conclusion
The default privilege level for user accounts created on Cisco routers is 1, which matches the provided answer.
