User groups

A user group associates multiple users with a role, enabling them to access EDA resources. An admin user can create user groups and assign a specific role to each group according to the type of network activities the user group is meant to perform. When a role is assigned to a user group, all users within the group have the same access to resources, as specified by the role.

EDA comes with a default user group called system-administrator. Users who belong to this group can:
  • Create, update, and delete local groups.
  • Assign local users to local groups.
  • Assign remote users to local groups.
  • View all users and their group memberships.
