User privileges for CLI commands

The following concepts apply to users executing commands from the command line:

• Users logged on as root (or administrator) are granted privileges that exceed those of Cluster Administrator, such as the ability to start and stop a cluster.
• If you do not have root privileges, VCS prompts for your VCS user name and password when you execute haxxx commands. You can use the halogin command to save the authentication information so that you do not have to enter your credentials every time you run a VCS command.
