Creating an account group

By putting user accounts into groups, you can ensure that your user accounts are configured uniformly. If, for example, you wanted a group of users to only have access to certain tasks on certain devices, you could create an account group to:

Note: If you assign task priviliges for your users with the User Accounts task, and then add the user accounts to a group, your users will have access to tasks granted by both the account and the group. For example, if a user account is given access to the Device Discovery task, and that user account is a member of an account group that does not grant access to the Device Discovery task, that user account will still have access to Device Discovery.

To create a group:

  1. Select User Groups from the All Tasks menu.
  2. Click New.
  3. Give your new group a descriptive name.
  4. In the User Accounts window, assign accounts to the group.
  5. In the Tasks window, select tasks that the group can perform.
  6. In the Folder Access window, select folders that the group can access.
  7. Click Apply.

Removing an account group

To remove an account group:

  1. Select User Groups from the All Tasks menu.
  2. Highlight the group you want to remove.
  3. Click Remove.

Note: Removing groups may affect a user's access rights. You cannot recover a group once it has been removed.
