Configure User Groups

A user group is a logical collection of users grouped together to access common information or perform similar tasks in OCSDM. The default LIAdministrators, administrators, provisioners, and monitor user groups are provided in OCSDM for you, or you can add new user groups so that you have the flexibility to define specific privileges for them based on the unique needs of your users. You can also map a local default user group or a local user group that you add in OCSDM to an external domain user group provided by RADIUS or LDAP authentication so that the external group can inherit the authorization privileges of the local user group.

Note:

Upon installation of OCSDM, if R226 compliance is enabled, the Lawful Intercept and SIPREC features and their attributes are hidden from view and are not configurable.

Add a User Group

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 select 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:

   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 OCSDM 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 OCSDM, and has the fewest privileges. Note: Upon installation of OCSDM, if R226 compliance is enabled, the Lawful Intercept and SIPREC features and their attributes are hidden from view and are not configurable.
