Adding the Members of a Device Group to the Security Profile

Any device group can be added to the dynamic objects of an administrator's security profile. In this case it is, however, not the group in itself that is added but all its direct and indirect members on which the access rights are defined.

To add a device group, proceed as follows:

1. Click Edit > Add Members of Device Group .
    The Select Dynamic Objects dialog box appears on the screen. The contents of the list box displays the available groups either in the hierarchy of all groups or a list of all existing groups, depending on the icon you click in the left box.
2. Select the desired device group.InformationYou can also search for a specific group via the Search tab.
3. Repeat this step until all device groups of which the members are to be assigned to the administrator/administrator group are selected.InformationOnly select those groups for which the same type of access is to be defined.
4. Click OK to confirm the selections.
    The Properties dialog box appears to define the type of access for the groups.
5. Select the respective radio buttons and options.InformationThe option Inherited is only of interest if you are defining this profile for an individual administrator instead of a group.
