Group Settings (Access Rights) 
To assign access rights to users and security levels to server CPUs in a Paragon system, assign users to user 
groups with defined rights and CPUs to channel port groups with defined accessibility. Each group can 
contain multiple users or CPUs. By default, all users start out assigned to user group 00 and all CPUs start 
out assigned to channel port group 00. You can create groups numbered from 00 to 99 for both users and 
CPUs; each user can belong to a maximum of five user groups and each CPU can belong to a maximum of 
eight channel port groups. 
Note: Cascade channel ports cannot be assigned to groups.

Users and computers communicate according to the following Group ID access rules: 
GROUP ID FOR USERS:  CAN ACCESS COMPUTERS WITH GROUP IDS: 
00  00 through 99 (all computers) 
For IDs 01 through 09:   
0X through 0X  00, 0X; and X0, X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8, and X9 
For example: 
05  00, 05; and 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, and 59 
For IDs 10 through 99:   
X0 through X9  00, 0X, and exact same computer ID# as the user’s ID# 
For example:   
98  00, 09 and 98
