4.4.2 Assigning Users to Group
Users can be assigned to the group by selecting the particular group from the left side of the Security Administration window
under the parent node Groups and in the Members tab screen in the right, click Setting Users. This invokes the Select Users
Wizard where you can see all the user names in the left-side column and the selected users for the particular group in the right-
side column. Between these two columns are the Add and Remove buttons by which you can select a particular user and either
add the user to the group or remove the user from the group.
4.4.3 Assigning Operations to Group
To assign operations to the group, select the particular group and click the Permitted Operations for Group tab in which you
can click Set Permissions. This invokes the operation tree where you can allow or disallow operations for that group by click-
ing the check boxes of the respective operations, and then clicking Done to make the changes permanently in the server and to
exit the operations tree. Thus, the tasks under the Group Settings are performed.
4.5 Custom View Scope (CVS)
4.5.1 Overview
Setting Custom View Scope for groups of users helps in filtering the objects that are to be displayed in the user's GUI on which
the user is permitted to do the respective authorized operations. By specifying the custom view scope criteria, the user can view
only the objects for which he or she has been authorized to operate on by filtering the objects.
For the particular group the various Custom View Scopes assigned can be viewed, new Authorized Scopes can be added, and
already existing Authorized Scopes can be edited for the selected CVS of the group by using the options available in the Cus-
tom View Scope for Group tab in the right as shown in the following figure.
Note: Any changes to scope take effect the next time a user (or a user in a group) logs in. Also, a user in multiple
groups will be filtered according to the most restricting scope of each category of all groups.
