Chapter 4. Administrator Utility

Group Management

Super administrators can create, modify, and delete up to 255 groups in the

KM0832. (An additional default group cannot be modified or deleted.)

Grouping users together simplifies KVM port management by enabling actions

to be performed that affect a whole group of users, rather than only one. (You

can still use the User Management Webpage to change individual user account

settings. See User Management, page 58.)

All group management operations start from the Group Management

Webpage. It shows all groups that have been created on the KM0832 and

provides options for creating new groups and modifying or deleting existing

groups.

Adding Groups

To add a new group:

1. If you are not logged in to the KM0832 Administrator Utility, open the

KM0832 Login page and login. The KM0832 Administrator Utility Main

Screen will appear.

2. From the Administration menu, choose Account Management > Group

Management. If no groups have been created the No Local Groups

Webpage appears. If at least one group has been created already the

Group Management Webpage appears. Click Add and skip to Step 4.

3. Click New. The Group Information Webpage appears.

4. Type a name in the Group Name field. Group names may be up to 15

characters long. Legal characters include: a–z, A–Z, 0–9, space, hyphen,

square brackets, parentheses, and period.

5. If you want to assign KVM port access rights to the group, see Managing

Port Access Rights for Groups, page 56.
