Create or Edit User Groups and Access Permissions
Define User Groups before creating individual Users. When creating a user, you must assign that user to an
existing user group. In addition, User Groups are used even if you implement remote authentication (via
RADIUS or LDAP).

To create a new User Group
: On the
User
menu, click
Add User Group
.
To edit an existing User
Group:
Select the group that you wish to edit in the user list, right-click on the icon, and select

Groups
window appears.

2.
Type a name for the new user group, or edit the name for an existing user group in the
Group Name
field.
3.
Check the boxes before the permissions you want to assign to all users who belong to this group.
a.
The first group of permissions (the upper table) controls user authorization for using these specific
administrative functions within KX Manager; for example, if you check the box before
Manage
user accounts,
the members in this group can create new user accounts in KX Manager. Several
administration functions are available within RRC and from Dominion KX’s Local Console Port;
these functions are available only to members of the default ADMIN group.
b.
In the second group of permissions (the lower table), uncheck
Enable Group
to disable all access
and permissions for members of this group. Check
Modem access
to give the group permission to
access Dominion KX via dial-up modem. Check
Concurrent Access (PC Share)
to allow group
members simultaneous log-on capability to Dominion KX with concurrent view and control of
targets, such as a PC Share session.
Important: Enabling Manage user accounts and Manage user groups permissions allows the
members of the group to change the permissions of all users, including their own. Carefully
consider granting these permissions.
