   Set Group Permissions

   

3. Select the permissions to assign to the group.
   • Device Access While Under CC-SG Management - Allows users and user groups with this permission to directly access the SX II while it is under CC-SG management.

     SX II is accessed using an IP address when Local Access is enabled for the device in CC-SG.

     When a device is accessed directly while it is under CC-SG management, access and connection activity is logged on SX II.

     User authentication is performed based on SX II authentication settings.

     Note: The Admin user group has this permission by default.

   • Device Settings - Network settings, date/time settings, port configuration, event management (SNMP, Syslog), and so on.
   • Diagnostics - Network interface status, network statistics, ping host, trace route to host, SX II diagnostics.
   • Maintenance - Backup and restore database, firmware upgrade, factory reset, reboot.
   • PC-Share - Simultaneous access to the same target by multiple users.
   • Security - SSL certificate, security settings, IP ACL.
   • User Management - User and group management, remote, authentication, login settings.

     Important: Selecting User Management allows the members of the group to change the permissions of all users, including their own. Carefully consider granting these permissions.

   • Modem Access - Displayed on the page when an external modem is connected to SX II. Select this option if you want the group to have access to the external modem. If broadband access is enabled for a GX440 modem, this permission allows the group to access SX II via the wireless modem, as well. See Connect and Enable Global Access to an External Model.

   Set Port Permissions

   

4. Select the access permissions the group has to server ports and power control. The default is Deny.

   Select each port individually, or use the checkboxes at the bottom of the page to apply permissions to all ports.

   

   • Deny - Denied access completely.
   • View - View but not interact with the connected target.
   • Control - Control the connected target.

     Control must be assigned to the group if power control access will also be granted.

5. Click OK to create the group and apply permissions.
