You can assign operations for the group by:
• Selecting (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.
After selecting the operations, click Finish to saving the changes permanently in the server.
4.4.1 Group and Scope Settings
4.4.1.1 Overview
Authorized Scopes (or Authorized Views) are independent entities that store the real authorization information. The scopes are
associated with the actual operations of the group leading to a more specific authorization for the user. Scopes consists of a set
of properties, and the scope is applicable only when those properties are true. For example, if you give a property as net-
work=192.168.4.0, the scope of that associated operation is applicable only for this network. The Scopes associated to the
respective operations are grouped together under the groups and then allocated to the users. The Administrator can perform the
following tasks under Scope configuration.
4.4.1.2 Add a Scope
Select a particular group for which you want to set a scope for the operations under that group, and then select the Permitted
Operations for Group tab in the Security Administration window. Now select the operation for which you wish to set a new
scope, and then click Setting Scope. This invokes the Scopes Settings Wizard, which helps in adding a new scope, as shown in
the following figure.
