4 CPE group management
A CPE group facilitates rights assignment to operators. You can create CPE groups, and add related
CPEs to each CPE group for management.
CPE groups are classified as follows:
• Root group—Functions like a root directory. An administrator can assign the management
right of a root group to other operators.
• Subgroup—Functions like a subdirectory.
If an operator has the management right on a root group, then the operator also has the
management right on all subgroups of the root group. Both types of groups can contain CPEs and
subgroups.
NOTE:
• Only an administrator can add, modify, and delete CPE groups.
• An operator can manage multiple CPE groups. A CPE group can be managed by multiple
operators.
• Only an administrator can view the ungrouped CPEs.
• A CPE group can have multiple levels of subgroups, like the folder system of Windows.
• 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.
• If there is no CPE in a CPE group, the status of the CPE group is Unmanaged.
