Efficient use of user groups
With the help of user groups, you can create a shared rights profile for several users
with the same access rights and add these user accounts to the group’s member list.
This means, you don‘t have to configure the rights of each user account indivi-
dually, and it is easier for you to manage the rights on the KVM switch.
