Adding user-defined user groups
If you are using DSView Internal authorization, you may add your own custom user-defined user
groups. Once a user-defined user group is created, you may add other users that use DSView
internal authentication as members.
NOTE: External user-defined user groups may be added, but their membership is not controlled by the DSView
management software.
When a user-defined user group is created, you specify the preemption level of members of the
group. See Preemption Levels on page 20 for more information.
To add a user-defined user group:
NOTE: You must have DSView software administrator or user administrator rights to add user-defined
user groups.
1. From the User Groups - User Defined window, click Add. The Welcome window of the Add
User Group wizard will appear. Click Next.
2. The Select Authentication Service window will open. This window contains a list of the names
of all authentication servers that may be used to authenticate the user group when the user logs
in. See Managing Authentication Services on page 53 for more information.
