Chapter 7: Adding and Managing Users and User
Groups
Users make up the individual users and administrators that connect to CC-SG in order to access
nodes and manage devices. User Groups are organizations that define a set of privileges for its
member users; users by themselves have no privileges. In general, all users must belong to a user
group.
CC-SG maintains its own centralized user list and user group list for authentication and
authorization, described in this chapter. When using external authentication schemes (for example,
RADIUS or Active Directory) users groups and policies (Please refer to Chapter 8: Policies) still
need to be created on CC-SG. Configuring CC-SG to use external authentication is covered in
Chapter 9: Remote Authentication.
The Users Tree
Click the Users Tab to display the Users Tree.
Figure 75 The Users Tree
The Users Tree displays all of the User Groups and Users in CC-SG. Users are nested underneath
the User Groups they belong to. User Groups with users assigned to them appear in the list with a
+ symbol next to them. Click in the symbol will expand or hide their list of member users. Active
users, those currently logged in to CC-SG appear in bold.
The Users Tree provides the ability to search for users within the tree. The method of searching
can be configured through the My Profile screen described later in this chapter.
