Chapter 8: Nodes, Node Groups, and Interfaces
Using Chat
Chat provides a way for users connected to the same node to
communicate with each other. You must be connected to a node to start a
chat session for that node. Only users on the same node can chat with
each other.
To start a chat session:
1. Choose Nodes > Chat > Start Chat Session.
2. Type a message in the lower left field and click Send. The message
appears in the upper left field for all users to see.
To join a chat session already in progress:
• Choose Nodes > Chat > Show Chat Session.
To end a chat session:
1. Click Close in the chat session. A confirmation message appears.
• Click Yes to close the chat session for all participants.
• Click No to exit the chat session but leave it running for other
participants.
Adding, Editing, and Deleting Node Groups
Node Groups Overview
Node groups are used to organize nodes into a set. The node group will
become the basis for a policy either allowing or denying access to this
particular set of nodes. See Adding a Policy (on page 122). Nodes can
be grouped manually, using the Select method, or by creating a Boolean
expression that describes a set of common attributes, using the Describe
method.
If you used Guided Setup 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. See Associations, Categories, and Elements (on
page 21) for details on creating categories and elements.
To view node groups:
• Choose Associations > Node Groups. The Node Groups Manager
window appears. A list of existing node groups is displayed on the left,
while details about the selected node group appear in the main panel.
• 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.
