Dave, Priv. level 1 gives you basic show commands, etc.
level 15 is full access like you mentioned. levels 2-14 don't have any special commands , but you re-assign commands to these levels for different users for example. Theres also a priv level 0 which gives you close to no commands on router IOS and you need to reduce the level 1 (default level) to 0 if you make the priv level 0 for line vty for example. I'm not sure if you can go to 0 on the switches. When you say reset ports, do you mean clean counters or shut/no shut the port? the latter would be config access. What type of switch is this and version of code? Awhile back when I was doing this for a client there was a minor bug with the priv commands and config mode for setting speed and duplex where the commands weren't saved properly. haven't checked that in quite awhile though.
