When configuring user access on Junos OS, what does the operator class allow a user to do?

The operator class in Junos OS is specifically designed for users who need a balance of access to both monitor the system and manage certain configurations, but it is not intended for unrestricted changes. Users assigned to the operator class can make changes to the system that pertain to network policies and other operational functions. This includes tasks like modifying existing configuration settings and implementing specific updates necessary for maintaining the network's operational integrity.

However, the operator class restricts access in such a way that it prevents these users from performing all administrative tasks or making sweeping changes that could impact the entire network without oversight. This limitation ensures that while operators can manage and respond to network demands, they do so within a controlled framework, helping to maintain the overall security and stability of the system.

In contrast, the other options either imply a more limited functionality or encompass broader administrative responsibilities that surpass what the operator class is intended for.
