The access point allows up to 10 SNMP v3 users to be configured. Each
SNMPv3 user is defined by a unique name. Users must be configured with a
specific security level and assigned to a group. The SNMPv3 group restricts
users to a specific read, write, or notify view.

:
Users must be assigned to groups that have the same security
levels. For example, a user who has “Auth Type” and “Priv Type” configured
to MD5 and DES respectively (that it, uses both authentication and data
encryption) must be assigned to the RWPriv group. If this same user were
instead assigned to the read-only (RO) group, the user would not be able
to access the database.
