How do I configure a user group?

Purpose

A user group is a definition of user roles and associated access rights. You assign NSP GUI and resource access rights to a user group through role objects. When a role is assigned to a user group, all access rights defined on the role are assigned to the user group.

To configure a complete user group, you should have appropriate roles configured before starting this procedure; see How do I configure a role?

Steps


1	Open Users and Security.
2	Select User Groups from the drop-down list on the toolbar.
3	Click Create User Group. The Create User Group form opens. To make changes to an existing user group, select the group in the list and click Table Row Actions, Edit User Group. The Edit User Group form opens.
4	Specify a group name and description in the Identification panel. The user group name you specify here must exactly match a corresponding user group name returned by your user repository. The User Group Name and Description fields can employ only the following special characters: `@ - _`. The User Group Name string must not contain any spaces, including a leading or trailing space.
5	To assign user roles to the group, click Add Roles on the Roles panel. The Add Roles form opens.
6	Enable the check box for each role you want to assign to the group and click Done. The roles are added to the Selected Roles list. To remove a role item from the Selected Roles list, click Delete on the item.
7	Click Create to save your changes and return to the User Groups list. End of steps
