(depending on which groups you were working with).

User Group Access Rights
Access rights indicate whether a user is allowed to perform certain actions on a unit in the
Rack Power Manager software system. See About Access Rights on page 143 for detailed
information and a list of actions that are available for target devices and managed appliances.
You may assign access control rights from a user group perspective. You select a user group,
specify the units for which rights will be assigned, then indicate the permission to perform the
action (none, allow, deny or inherit) for each unit. That procedure is described in this section.
There are other ways to assign access rights:
• From a user perspective - see User Access Rights on page 220
• From a unit perspective - see Unit Access Rights on page 144
• From a unit group perspective - see Changing the unit group properties on page 189
To display user group access rights:

2. Click Groups in the top navigation bar. Built-In will automatically be selected in the side
navigation bar and the User Groups - Built-in window will open. To display the User
Groups - User Defined window, click User-Defined in the side navigation bar.
3. Click on a user group name. The User Group Properties window will open.
4. Click Effective Rights in the side navigation bar and then click All Units, Target Devices
or Appliances. The Target Devices Effective Rights window or Appliance Effective Rights
window will open. Columns indicate the available actions for the unit.
