5 CPE group management
A CPE group is used to manage rights assignment to users. Administrators create CPE groups and
add related CPEs to each CPE group for management. A CPE group contains CPEs and subgroups.
CPE groups are classified into level-1 groups and subgroups to facilitate management. A level-1
group functions as a root directory. The administrator can assign the management right of the
level-1 group to other users. A subgroup functions as a subdirectory. All users with management
rights to a level-1 group also have management rights to all subgroups of the level-1 group.
CPE group management tasks

• Only an administrator can add, modify, and delete CPE groups.
• An authorized user can manage multiple CPE groups. A CPE group can be managed by

• A CPE group can have multiple levels of subgroups.
• The status of a CPE group is determined by the status of the CPE with the highest severity level
in the CPE group and the subgroups.
