About administrator groups
The
Administrator groups
page lists all the administrator groups
that have been configured on the VCS, and lets you add, edit and
delete groups. Note that administrator groups are only active
when the
Administrator authentication source is set to Remote .
Administrator groups determine which access rights members of
the group have after they have been successfully authenticated
to use the VCS. The group
Name
defined in the VCS must match
the group name that has been set up in the remote directory
service to manage administrator access to this VCS.
When an administrator logs in to the VCS their credentials are
authenticated against the remote directory service and they are
assigned the access rights associated with the group to which
the administrator belongs. If the administrator account belongs to
more than one group, the highest level permission is assigned.
Configuring administrator groups
To go to the Administrator groups page:
•
Maintenance > Login accounts > Administrator groups .
Click on the group you want to configure (or click New to create a
new group, or click Delete to remove a group). You can create up
to 30 administrator groups.
To configure administrator groups using the CLI:
•
xConfiguration Login Administrator Groups
The configurable options are:

About user groups

User groups
page lists all the user groups that have been
configured on the VCS, and lets you add, edit and delete groups.
You can create up to 15 user groups.
Note that user groups are only active when the
User
authentication source is set to Remote .
User groups determine which access rights members of the group
have after they have been successfully authenticated to use the
VCS. The group
Name defined in the VCS must match the group
name that has been set up in the remote directory service to
manage user accounts.
When a user logs in to the VCS their credentials are
authenticated against the remote directory service and they are
assigned the access rights associated with the group to which
that user belongs. If the user account belongs to more than one
group, the highest level permission is assigned.
