46 Cyclades ACS 6000 Advanced Console Server Installation/Administration/User Guide
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 assigned to the group called user by default.
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.
NOTE: The only configuration allowed for the admin group is adding or deleting members.
