Users/User Groups – Tuning in with the Remote
Authentication Servers
This page allows you to modify, to create or to suppress custom-made user groups in addition to ADMIN
and SUPERADMIN. It is possible to define up to 62 custom-made user groups.
Each user group has a name and a set of properties specifying which computers its users can access, and
whether its users can power on and power off the computers they can access.
There are two preset user groups: ADMIN and SUPERADMIN that cannot be changed. Users belonging to
one of these two groups can access ALL computers with no restrictions.
When modifying or creating a new user, you must tell which user group he belongs to (see User Edit page).
When working with user-password policy (see Security page), Prima IP identifies users at connection time,
retrieves their group and applies the group properties.
Note:
The user at local-console is slightly different. When the local-user authentication applies (see
Local Console page), the local-user cannot select the forbidden ports, but he can still access a
computer that has been selected by a remote authorized user.
Important Note:
User groups have
NO effect
if the password policy is
NOT
set to
User Password
.
If you are using other password policies such as
No Password
or
Global Password
, users will not
have any access restriction, since when adopting these policies you imply that the distinction of user
identities is not necessary. For more information on password policies, please refer to the
Security
page.
After you have made all modifications, click
Store the (new) User Group
to save your settings and then hit
Apply Settings/Restart Servers
to validate these new settings.
No change you have made on this page will apply until you hit
Apply Settings/Restart Servers
!
