Chapter 5: Managing User Accounts 195
You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective. You select a user group,
specify the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to perform the
action (none, allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. That procedure is described in this section.
There are other ways to assign access rights:
• From a user perspective - see User Access Rights on page 189
• From a unit perspective - see Unit Access Rights on page 121
• From a unit group perspective - see Changing the name, members or access rights of a unit
group on page 175
To display user group access rights:
1. Click the Users tab.
2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. Built-In will automatically be selected in the side
navigation bar and the User Groups - Built-in window will open. To display the User Groups -
User Defined window, click

3. Click on a user group name. The User Group Properties window will open.
4. Click Effective Rights in the side navigation bar and then click Target Devices or Appliances .
The Target Devices Effective Rights window or Appliance Effective Rights window will open.
Columns indicate the available actions for the unit.
• Black check mark - the user has been granted access for this right

• Black
X
- the user has been denied access for this right

The access rights display may contain information that appears invalid. For example, virtual
media access can be enabled to a target device that does not support it. Similarly, virtual media
access could be enabled but KVM (Video Viewer) access may be disabled. See
