+Huawei VRP Configuration
+========================
+
+Create a user with no privileges
+
+```text
+    <HUAWEI> system-view
+    [~HUAWEI] aaa
+    [~HUAWEI-aaa] local-user oxidized password irreversible-cipher verysecret
+    [*HUAWEI-aaa] local-user oxidized level 1
+    [*HUAWEI-aaa] local-user oxidized service-type terminal ssh
+    [*HUAWEI-aaa] commit
+```
+
+The commands Oxidized executes are:
+
+1. screen-length 0 temporary
+2. display version
+3. display device
+4. display current-configuration all
+
+Command 2 and 3 can be executed without issues, but 1 and 4 are only available for higher level users. Instead of making Oxidized a read/write user on your device, lower the privilege-level for commands 1 and 4:
+
+```text
+    <HUAWEI> system-view
+    [~HUAWEI] command-privilege level 1 view global display current-configuration all
+    [*HUAWEI] command-privilege level 1 view shell screen-length
+    [*HUAWEI] commit
+```
+
+Oxidized can now retrieve your configuration!
+
+Caveat: Some versions of VRP default to appending a timestamp prior to the output of each `display` command, which will lead to superfluous updates. The configuration statement `timestamp disable` can be used to disable this functionality. (Issue #1218)
