Users that have been added to the DSView 3 software system may be added to the following two
types of user groups:
• Built-In - The DSView 3 management software is delivered with six predefined user groups:
Appliance Administrators, Auditors, DSView 3 software administrators, Everyone, User
Administrators and Users. All users are automatically included in the Everyone user group
when they are added to the DSView 3 software system. Users may be added to any of the
other user groups. The privileges that a user has to perform tasks on the DSView 3 software
system is dependent on the built-in user group to which the user is a member. See Built-in
User Groups on page 45.
• User-defined - You may also define custom groups, based on any criteria you wish. For
example, you may want to define groups based on user administrators with read-only access,
software developers at a specific location, global network infrastructure personnel based on
job title and so on.
Built-in user groups appear in the User Groups - Built-in window and user-defined user groups
appear in the User Groups - User Defined window. The Preemption Level column will indicate
the preemption level of each user group. The windows may also display the following fields. Use
the Customize link to add or remove fields in the display: See Using the Customize link in
windows on page 32.
• Authentication Server - Name of the authentication server assigned to the user. See
Authentication Services on page 87.
• Role - Role of a user-defined user group, which may be None, User, Auditor, Appliance
Administrator, User Administrator or DSView Administrator. The role column for a built-in
user group or a user-defined user group with a role of None will be empty.
• Type - Type of user group, which will be built-in or user-defined.
