FIGURE 4-4 User Administration Wizard (3)
Users can be associated with existing groups by clicking the appropriate check boxes of the groups when the checkbox
Group based permissions is checked. You can also see the allocated operations for the existing groups by clicking on the
right arrow for that group.
Note: You can associate the new user to a new group by entering the new group name in the corresponding text box and clicking
Add Group. The group is added and the operations for that group can be defined immediately. In most cases, however, a
group should be defined first and then users associated with that group.
To assign operations to the user directly without associating him or her with any groups, check Direct assignment. The
Permissions button is activated, and the Administrator can assign operations to a user without associating them to any
groups. Clicking Permissions will invoke the Permissions Tree Hierarchy. The Administrator can use this operations tree to
allow/disallow operations for that user.
You can assign permissions by:
• Checking (checkmark) the check boxes to include the operations
• Ticking the check box (x) to exclude operations
• Leaving the check box empty so that it inherits its parent operation permission
Note: Repeatedly clicking the checkbox will cycle the checkbox through these states (checkmark, x, empty).
After associating groups to the new user, click Finish for confirmation. If you need to make any changes, you can go back to
the previous screens by clicking Back and make the necessary changes. The new user added will be displayed under the left
side tree under the parent node Users in the main Security Administration window.
