Apply or Change User Group Privileges

You can apply privileges to user groups that you add to allow or deny all users within this user group the ability to perform certain operations. This includes items intended for use with separate application products. For the default LIAdministrators, administrators, provisioners, and monitor user groups, only device group privileges can be changed.

User group privileges that are assigned to either the administrators or LIAdministrators user groups inherit most of the same access privileges. However, users assigned to the LIAdministrators user group have full configuration privileges to manage the Configure LI element (Lawful Intercept) in the Device configuration subfolder within the Configuration folder in the Configuration tab. Users assigned to administrators, provisioners and monitors default user groups do not have privileges to configure the Configure LI element.

Note:

If Lawful Intercept (LI) is enabled on the device, LI configuration values become encrypted on both the devices and SDM.

All user group privileges that are available through SDM are described in the following sections. You may not see some of these user group privileges in the Configuration, Device maintenance, Administrative operations, Fault management, Device groups, and Applications tabs in SDM until you install your product plugin.
