Chapter 9: Users and User Groups
Adding, Editing, and Deleting User Groups
Add a User Group
Creating user groups first will help you organize users when the users are
added. When a user group is created, a set of privileges is assigned to the
user group. Users assigned to the 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. See User Group Privileges
(on page 287).
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 that specify which nodes the user group can access.
To add a user group:
1. Choose Users > User Group Manager > Add User Group. The Add
User Group screen appears
2. Type a name for the user group in the User Group Name field. User
Group names must be unique. See Naming Conventions (on page
314) for details on CC-SG's rules for name lengths.
3. Type a short description for the group in the Description field.
Optional.
4. Click the Privileges tab.
5. Select the checkbox that corresponds with 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. Select the checkbox that
corresponds to each type of node access you want to assign to the
user group.
7. Click the Device/Node Policies tab. A table of policies appears.
The All Policies table lists all the policies available on CC-SG. Each
policy represents a rule allowing or denying access to a group of
nodes. See Policies for Access Control (on page 121) for details on
policies and how they are created.
8. In the All Policies list, select a policy that you want to assign to the user
group, and then click Add to move the policy to the Selected Policies
list. Policies in the Selected Policies list allow or deny access to the
nodes or devices controlled by the policy.
