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.
