Establishing Groups and Group Permissions

You can assign each GUI user to one or more groups. The Groups Administration page enables you to create, modify, and delete user groups. Also, you can assign permissions to the group. The permissions determine the functions and restrictions for the users belonging to that group. The permissions on this page are categorized as follows:

• Global Action Permissions
• Administration Permissions
• Configuration Permissions
• Alarms & Events Permissions
• Security Log Permissions
• Status & Manage Permissions
• Measurements Permissions
• Communication Agent Configuration Permissions
• Communication Agent Maintenance Permissions
• Diameter Configuration Permissions
• Diameter Maintenance Permissions
• Diameter Diagnostics Permissions
• Diameter Mediation Permissions
• Diameter Troubleshooting with IDIH Permissions
• Diameter AVP Dictionary Permissions

For more information about the available permissions for the groups, see the Group Administration section in the Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) Guide.

For non-admin users, a group with restricted authority is essential. To prevent non-admin users from setting up new users and groups, ensure that Users and Groups under the Administration Permissions section are unchecked, as shown in the following image.
