Managing SNMP Users
An SNMP user is defined by the login credentials (username, passwords, and
authentication method) and by the context and scope in which it operates by
association with a group and an Engine ID.
The configured user have the attributes of its group, having the access privileges
configured within the associated view.
Groups enable network managers to assign access rights to a group of users
instead of to a single user.
A user can only belong to a single group.
To create an SNMPv3 user, the following must first exist:
• An engine ID must first be configured on the device. This is done in the
Engine ID page.
• An SNMPv3 group must be available. An SNMPv3 group is defined in the
Groups page.
