Node Groups
Node groups are used to organize nodes into a set. This group will then become the basis for a
policy either allowing or denying access to this particular set of nodes. Nodes can be grouped
arbitrarily or by a set of common attributes.
Additionally, if you used the Associations manager to create categories and elements for nodes,
some means to organize nodes along common attributes have already been created. CC-SG
automatically creates default access policies based on these elements. Refer to Chapter 4:
Associations for more details on creating categories and elements.
To view existing node groups:
On the Associations menu, click Node Group. The Node Groups Manager window
displays. A list of existing node groups is displayed on the left, while details about selected
node group displays in the main panel.
Figure 88 The Node Group Manager
1. A list of existing node groups is displayed on the left. Click a node group to view the details
of the group in the node group manager.
If the group was formed arbitrarily, the Select Nodes tab will be displayed showing a list of
nodes in the group and a nodes not in the group.
If the group was formed based on common attributes, the Describe Nodes tab will be
displayed showing the rules that govern selection of the nodes for the group.
2. To search for a node in the node group list, type a string in the Search field at the bottom of
the list, and then click Search. The method of searching is configured through the My Profile
screen. Please refer to Chapter 7: Users and User Groups for additional information.
