User Layer is where we engineer solutions and architectures which allow for the human factors, psychology and sociology.

Must take into account Human Limitations:

• Physiological Characteristics
• Behavioral Characteristics

For example, we can engineer UIs which support sensible, informed security choices. A good introduction to this sort of design can be found in Dr. Peter Gutmann’s AUSCERT 2008 paper: “Things that make us stupid: Why security user interfaces lead to insecure user actions.”

User error#

User Layer provides several Result Codes that could be inputs to The Reliable Internetwork Troubleshooting Agent
