Chapter 8: User Management
105
The Group page is organized into the following categories: Group,
Permissions, Port Permissions, and IP ACL.
2. Type a descriptive name for the new user group into the Group
Name field.
3. Set the Permissions for the group. Check the boxes before the
permissions you want to assign to all of the users belonging to this
group. Refer to Setting Permissions (on page
105) for more
information.
4. Set the Port Permissions. Specify the server ports that can be
accessed by users belonging to this group (and the type of access).
Refer to Setting Port Permissions (on page
106) for more
information.
5. Set the IP ACL (see "
Group-based IP ACL (Access Control List)" on
page
106) (optional). This feature limits access to the Dominion KX II
device by specifying IP addresses; it applies only to users belonging
to a specific group, unlike the IP Access Control (on page
153) list
feature which applies to all access attempts to the device (and takes
priority).
6. Click OK.
Note: Several administrative functions are available within MPC and from the
Dominion KX II Local Console; these functions are available only to members of
the default ADMIN group.
Setting Permissions
Important: Checking the “User Management” checkbox allows the
members of the group to change the permissions of all users, including
their own. Carefully consider granting these permissions.
