Relationship Between Users and Groups
Users belong to a group and groups have privileges. Organizing the
various users of your KX III into groups saves time by allowing you to
manage permissions for all users in a group at once, instead of
managing permissions on a user-by-user basis.
You may also choose not to associate specific users with groups. In this
case, you can classify the user as “Individual.”
Upon successful authentication, the device uses group information to
determine the user's permissions, such as which server ports are
accessible, whether rebooting the device is allowed, and other features.
Adding a New User Group
To add a new user group:
1. Select User Management > Add New User Group or click Add on the
User Group List page.
2. Type a descriptive name for the new user group into the Group
Name field (up to 64 characters).
3. Select the checkboxes next to the permissions you want to assign to
all of the users belonging to this group. See Setting Permissions
4. Specify the server ports and the type of access for each user
belonging to this group. See Setting Port Permissions (on page 58)
5. Set the IP ACL. This feature limits access to the KX III device by
specifying IP addresses. It applies only to users belonging to a
specific group, unlike the IP Access Control list feature that applies
to all access attempts to the device (and takes priority). See
Group-Based IP ACL (Access Control List) (on page 60) Optional
