Important: If you do not wish to restrict or control user access to systems or
CC-SG, your installation is now complete. Your users should all be assigned to
the system administrator’s user group.
Control User Access
You can control user access to devices, ports, and CC-SG administration through user groups and
policies. User groups define a user’s privileges and polices specify the devices and ports a user
can access. First, create a user group, apply a policy to the user group, then add users to the user
group.
Create User Groups
Use the Add User Group command to create specific user groups and assign them privileges,
based on the needs of your work environment. Groups can help you keep your system organized.
Assign privileges to Groups upon creating them. These privileges are either a command type or
an event type. Command type privileges permit users to see and execute commands. Event type
privileges permit users to view events in the Ports and Devices trees.
Users inherit the privileges assigned to the group to which they belong. No user can have any
rights other than those assigned to the group. As an example, if a group is assigned the User
Management privilege, all users in that group can see and execute the User Manager commands
in the Users menu: Add User, Edit User, Change User Password, etc.
In order to see Ports and Devices trees, a user group has to be assigned the Device and Port
Management privilege. To view other events that occur in the system, those privileges must be
selected upon adding or editing a user group.
Note: A user group by default has no access to any ports. Therefore, a policy must be applied to
the user group.
