Chapter 6: Users and User Groups 47
NOTE: The Appliance Access Rights screen for the admin and appliance-admin user groups is read-only and
cannot be changed. Unchecking any box and clicking Save will result in an error message. The console server
will maintain all rights selected.
appliance-admin Group
Members of the appliance-admin group have access restricted to tasks for managing only the
appliance. Appliance-admin user group members have no access to the serial ports or power
management options, and share all of the appliance access rights as admin except for Configure
User Accounts and Shell Access, which are permanently disabled for this group.
user Group
Members of the user group have access to target devices unless they are restricted by an
administrator but have no access rights for the console server. Administrators can add appliance
access rights and permissions, or can add users to custom user groups to add permissions and
access rights as needed. By default, all selections on the appliance access rights screen will be
disabled.
NOTE: The Appliance Access Rights screen for the user group can be changed at any time by an administrator.
This will change the access rights for all members of the console server’s user group.
Managing User Groups
Administrators and members of the admin group can create custom user groups that can contain
users from any default user group or from other custom user groups. Permissions and access for
custom user groups will be determined by the top-level user group permissions.
To create a custom user group:
1. Log into the Web Manager as admin.
2. Click Appliance Settings - Users - Authorization - Groups in the navigation bar. The Groups
screen is displayed and contains a list of the three default user groups and any additional
custom user groups that have been created.
3. Click Add in the content area. The New Authorization Group screen is displayed.
4. Enter the name of the new user group you are creating.
5. Click Save. The Groups screen is displayed again with the added group name.
To add or remove members for a new custom user group:
1. Log into the Web Manager as admin.
2. Click Appliance Settings - Users - Authorization - Groups in the navigation bar. The Groups
screen is displayed.
3. Click the new user group name. The Members screen is displayed (Members column is
empty).
