Groups
Select the Groups tab to view and edit settings for control system groups. Control system
groups are used to group users by access level and Active Directory authentication settings.
Groups Tab
Enter text in the Search Groups field to find and display groups that match the search term(s).
Control system groups are listed in table format. The following information is displayed for each
control system group:
l
Group Name: The chosen group name
l
AD Group: Reports whether the group is (Yes) or is not (No) authenticated through Active
Directory
NOTE: Active Directory provides an extra layer of authentication for control system
groups and users. Active directory group and user names are stored in the control
system console along with a unique SID (security identifier). When an Active Directory
user attempts to authenticate against the console, the console first checks the user
credentials. If the Active Directory authentication is successful, Active Directory
queries the console for the user or group's SID. The user is granted access to the
control system only if at least one SID match is found.
l
Access Level: The access level for the selected group (Administrator, Programmer,
Operator, User, or Connect)
If the control system groups span multiple pages, use the navigation arrows on the bottom of
the page to move forward or backward through the pages, or select a page number to navigate
to that page. Additionally, the number of groups displayed on each page may be set to 5, 10, or
20 users.
An Actions column is also provided for each group that allows various actions to be performed.
The following selections may be selected from the Actions column.
