CHAPTER 7: ADDING AND MANAGING USERS AND USER GROUPS 79
Add User Groups
Creating user groups first will help you organize users when they are added. When a user group is
created, a set of privileges is assigned to the user group. Users that are assigned to that group will
inherit those privileges. For example, if you create a group and assign it the User Management
privilege, all users assigned to the group will be able to see and execute the commands on the
User Manager menu. Please refer to Appendix D: User Group Privileges for additional
information on what each privilege means.
Configuring user groups involves four basic steps:
• Name the group and give it a description.
• Select the privileges the user group will have.
• Select the interface types the user group can use to access nodes.
• Select policies which describe what nodes the user group can access.
To create a new user group:
1. On the Users menu, select User Group Manager, then Add User Group. The Add User
Group screen appears
Figure 76 Add User Groups Screen
2. Type a name for the user group in the User Group Name field. User Group names must be
unique.
3. Optionally, type a short description for the group in the Description field.
4. Click the Privileges tab.
5. Check the checkbox that corresponds to each privilege you want to assign to the user group.
6. Below the privileges table is the Node Access area with privileges for three kinds of node
access: Node Out of Band Access, Node In-Band Access, and Node Power Control. Check
the checkbox that corresponds to each type of node access you want to assign to the user
group.
