Managing User-Defined User Groups
Users that have been added to the DSView software system may be added to the following two
types of user groups:
• Built-In - The DSView management software is delivered with six predefined user groups:
Appliance Administrators, Auditors, DSView software administrators, Everyone, User
Administrators and Users. All users are automatically included in the Everyone user group
when they are added to the DSView software system. Users may be added to any of the other
user groups. The privileges that a user has to perform tasks on the DSView software system is
dependent on the built-in user group to which the user is a member.
• User-defined - You may also define your own custom groups, based on any criteria you wish.
For example, you may want to define groups based on user administrators with read-only
access, software developers at a specific location, global network infrastructure personnel
based on job title and so on.
Built-in user groups will appear in the User Groups - Built-in window and user-defined user groups
will appear in the User Groups - User Defined window. By default, the Preemption Level column
will appear in the windows and display the preemption level of each user group. The views of the
windows may be customized by clicking the Customize button to display the following columns:
