Which default AOS-CX user role provides View switch configuration and REST API PUT/POST access?

• A. Administrators
• B. auditors
• C. sysops
• D. helpdesk

Answer: (C)

In AOS-CX, user roles define what you can view and what you can change. Being able to view the switch configuration is a read-side permission, while using REST API PUT/POST is a write operation that applies changes to the device. The sysops role is designed for operators who need to inspect configurations and perform configuration changes, including through the REST API. That combination—viewing the switch configuration and executing REST API calls that modify the configuration—fits sysops best. Administrators have broader access beyond that, auditors are typically read-only and cannot perform configuration changes, and the helpdesk role is usually more limited and focused on basic support tasks rather than direct configuration edits via REST.
