Users: User Groups
This screen allows you to modify, create or suppress user groups, each of which is listed in the
Select drop-down menu as detailed below. After you’ve made all modications, click “Store
the (new) User Group,” then “Apply Settings”/“Restart Servers.”
Up to 64 user groups can be dened, each having a name and a set of properties specifying
which computers can be accessed and whether the users of this group can power on and
power off the computers they can access. When modifying or creating a new user, you must
select which user group he will belong to (see Users: Local Database above). When implementing
the user-password policy, users are identied at connection time, their group is retrieved and
the group properties are applied.
There are two preset user groups, ADMIN and SUPERADMIN, that cannot be changed. Users
belonging to one these groups can access all computers with no restrictions.
NOTE: The local console user is slightly different. When “Local User Needs Authentication” is
enabled (see KVM Server: Local Console), the local user cannot select the prohibited ports,
but can still access a computer that would be selected by a remote authorized user. Also, user
groups have no effect if the password policy is not set to User Password. If you’re using other
password policies (No Password or Global Password), users willl not have any access
restriction, since when adopting these policies you imply that the distinction of user identities
is not necessary.
