Creating User Groups

You can add a user group to which you assign users later. Those users in turn, inherit the group-based privileges that you copy from default user groups.

  1. Expand the Security Manager slider and choose User management > Groups.
  2. In the User Groups pane, click Add to add a new user group.
  3. In the Add Group dialog box, complete the following fields:
    Name Description
    Group name field The user group name. Use the following guidelines for naming this group:
    • Use a minimum of three characters and maximum of 50.
    • The name must start with an alphabetical character.
    • You are allowed to use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores.
    • The user group name is case insensitive.
    • The user group must be unique.
    Group permissions copy from drop-down list Choose from the following default user groups to copy their privileges:
    • None—Manually configure privileges for this user group.
    • administrators—This super user group is privileged to perform all operations.
    • LIAdministrators—This user group is privileged to perform most operations including Lawful Intercept (LI) configuration changes. These privileges do not include changing the default administrator user credentials. For example, users assigned to the default LI administration group cannot enable or disable accounts, change passwords, or expiration dates for other users in the default LI administration and administration groups.
    • provisioners—This group is privileged to configure Report Manager and save and apply the configuration with the exception of a LI configuration.
    • monitors—This group is privileged to view configuration data and other types of data only. This group cannot configure Report Manager, and has the fewest privileges.
