Groups
The EMG has 3 pre-defined groups: Administrators, Power Users, and Default Users. Custom
groups can also be created; each custom group is a set of user attributes and permissions. Local
Users and Remote Users defined on the EMG unit can be assigned to one of the pre-defined
groups or a custom group. When a user authenticates, if they belong to custom group, they will be
granted the custom group attributes and permissions, rather than their individual attributes and
permissions. The EMG supports querying a LDAP server for groups that a LDAP user is a member
of; if any of the LDAP group names match a (Custom Group Name), the LDAP user will be granted
the rights of the custom group.
A custom group cannot be given the name of one of the pre-defined groups: "Admin", "Power" or
"Default" (or any version of these names where the case of the letters is different) since these
names are used for the EMG pre-defined groups. Any LDAP group that matches one of these pre-
defined group names will be ignored and not used to assign rights to a user.
To configure Groups in the EMG unit:
1. From the main menu, select
User Authentication - Groups
. The following page displays.
Note:
If the fields in the lower part of the page have been populated by viewing another
group, the fields can be cleared by selecting the Reset Group button.
