User Groups
User Groups is a standard configuration interface for the individual user groups of Unified Assurance. Each User Group allows for multiple users to be assigned security restrictions under one simple administration element. Individual groups can be assigned different permissions based on their role in the system, their specific customer devices, or their default diagram view.
See the following guides for additional information that could be useful:
Refer to the Standard Configuration Interface guide for details on how to interact with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/AAA/userGroups.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> AAA -> User Groups.
Form Fields
-
Name - The name of the user group.
-
Role - The role of permissions to be used by the user group.
-
Properties - User Group restrictive Properties that are then applied to the users in the group. Refer to the Authentication Options and Adding User Accounts guide for more information.
-

Best Practices
-
You can use the User Groups interface to add users to a primary user group, but you cannot simply remove them from a primary group. All users must always belong to a single primary group, and can optionally belong to multiple subgroups.
-
To move a user to a new primary group, add them to the destination group, which automatically removes them from the previous primary group. You can use the User Groups interface or the Users interface to change a user's primary group.
-
Use the Users interface to add or remove a user from subgroups.
