account.
User Rights are configured from the Manage Users dialog (click the Admin tab, then click
Manage Users). Group access rights are enabled from the Manage Users dialog, but must be
specified from a group's properties. For more information, see Assigning group access rights.
A user account must have Group Read rights to at least one group to which a device belongs
in order for it to appear in the results list. Additionally, a user account must have the following
rights to perform Find Device's functions:
An account must have Device Read to edit a device via Device Properties (on page
119).
An account must have both the Group Write and Manage Groups rights to remove a
device from a group.

device in WhatsUp Gold, if you have the appropriate rights, it is removed from WhatsUp
Gold.
