Yes, you do need to define a special user.

You need to create a user called "$enable$" for the default enable.
For other privilege levels create users of the form "$enab<n>$"
where <n> is the privilege level.

For example

user = $enable$ {
    login = <password stuff>
}

user = $enab9$ {
    login = <password stuff>
}
