User groups
User groups are given access and authorizations either by default or as assigned by an administrator.
Administrators can alter the permissions and access rights of users belonging to the appliance-admin or user
groups or create additional groups with custom permissions and access rights. Administrators can add, delete or
modify permissions and access rights for users from any group at any time.
If an administrator configures the console server to restrict user access to ports, the administrator can assign users
to groups that are authorized for port access. The administrator can also authorize groups for power management
and data buffer management.
This document and the software refer to users whose accounts are configured on remote authentication servers as
remote users. Remote users do not need local accounts.
Radius, TACACS+ and LDAP authentication services allow group configuration. If a remote user is configured
as a member of a remote group, the authentication server provides the group name to the console server when it
authenticates the user. A local group by the same name must also be configured on the console server. If an
authentication server authenticates a remote user but does not return a group, then the remote user is, by default,
assigned to the user group.
admin group
Members of the admin group have full administrative privileges that cannot be changed, the same access and
configuration authorizations as the default admin user. Administrators can configure ports, add users and manage
power devices connected to the console server.
NOTE: The only configuration allowed for the admin group is adding or deleting members.
To view admin Appliance Access Rights:
1. Click Users - Authorization - Groups. The Group Names screen is displayed, showing the three default user
groups along with any groups that have been created.
