5.6.5 Groups
User groups are given access and authorizations either by default or as assigned by an administrator. Administrators can
alter the permissions and access rights of users belonging to the Power User or User groups or create additional groups with
custom permissions and access rights. Administrators can add, delete or modify permissions and access rights for users
from any group at any time.
For example, if an administrator configures the appliance to restrict user access to a target, the administrator can assign
users to groups that are authorized for specific target access. The administrator can also authorize groups for power
management and data buffer management.
This document and the software refer to users whose accounts are configured on remote authentication servers as remote
users. Remote users do not need local accounts.
LDAP authentication services allow group configuration. If a remote user is configured as a member of a remote group, the
authentication server provides the group name to the appliance when it authenticates the user. A local group by the same
name must also be configured on the appliance. If an authentication server authenticates a remote user but does not return
a group, then the remote user is, by default, assigned to the user group.
Managing user groups
Administrators can create custom user groups that contain any users. Permissions and access for custom user groups will be
determined by the top-level user group permissions.
To add or modify a user group:
1.
From the sidebar, click
Users - Groups
.
2.
Click
Add
to create a new user group. The Create User Group screen appears. Enter the new user group name
and use the drop-down menu to define the user group role (User, Power-User or Admin).
