Managing security groups

As an administrator, you can manage security groups. You can use groups to easily assign roles to many users at a time and automatically assign roles to new users. You can also associate groups with host connections to restrict user access to specific host connections.

On the Groups tab, you can view a list of configured groups with details such as name of the group, a description of the group, the roles associated with the group, and whether new users are auto assigned to the group.

Important

The LDAP Managed column is displayed only if you have LDAP security groups configured.
