the four groups from the Network Security console. Each group includes a
predefined set of permissions and access.
You can control user access using the predefined user groups, including
managing user passwords and passphrases, tracking user actions, and limiting
access via parameters.
Note: The four user groups are unique to the Network Security console and do
not extend to the serial console or the LCD panel. See the Symantec Network
Security 7100 Series Implementation Guide for more information about the
serial console and the LCD panel.

Managing user login accounts
The Network Security console provides a way to create and modify user login
accounts efficiently. In a cluster, create user accounts on the master software or
appliance node. The user database is propagated across all slave nodes in a
cluster when they synchronize with the master node.

Adding user login accounts
The Network Security console provides an efficient way to add new user login
accounts to the system by assigning each user to a predefined user group.
Note: SuperUsers can create new user accounts in any of the predefined groups;
Administrators, StandardUsers, and RestrictedUsers cannot. See “User groups
reference” on page 319 for more about permissions.
