User groups
User groups are given access and authorizations either by default or as assigned by an
administrator. Administrators can alter the permissions and access rights of users belonging to
the appliance-admin or user groups or create additional groups with custom permissions and
access rights. Administrators can add, delete or modify permissions and access rights for users
from any group at any time.
If an administrator configures the console server to restrict user access to ports, the administrator
can assign users to groups that are authorized for port access. The administrator can also
authorize groups for power management and data buffer management.
This document and the software refer to users whose accounts are configured on remote
authentication servers as remote users. Remote users do not need local accounts.
Radius, TACACS+ and LDAP authentication services allow group configuration. If a remote
user is configured as a member of a remote group, the authentication server provides the group
name to the console server when it authenticates the user. A local group by the same name
must also be configured on the console server. If an authentication server authenticates a remote
user but does not return a group, then the remote user is, by default, assigned to the user group.
admin group
Members of the admin group have full administrative privileges that cannot be changed, the
same access and configuration authorizations as the default admin user. Administrators can
configure ports, add users and manage power devices connected to the console server.
